Western Enterprises b-2hp Hex Nipple 3000 Psig 1/8 Npt

Product Description

The WESTERN ENTERPRISES b-2hp is a high-pressure brass hex nipple rated to 3000 PSIG, designed for reliable connections in compressed gas service systems. Machined with 1/8 inch NPT male threads on both ends, this fitting provides a secure, leak-free transition between components in demanding industrial piping configurations. The hexagonal body allows a standard wrench to seat and tighten the fitting cleanly, including in tight or confined work areas. Pipe fitters, gas technicians, and instrumentation professionals install this fitting in manifold assemblies, high-pressure gas lines, and instrumentation setups where pressure integrity is critical.

The b-2hp is suited for industrial compressed gas applications where 1/8 inch NPT male connections are required. Typical installations include gas distribution manifolds, instrument tubing interfaces, and compressed gas service lines in manufacturing or industrial maintenance environments. The 3000 PSIG pressure rating provides a substantial safety margin for most compressed gas service conditions encountered in industrial facilities.

Key Features

• Rated to 3000 PSIG for high-pressure compressed gas service
• 1/8 inch NPT male thread configuration for standard pipe connections
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life
• Hexagonal body design allows torque application with standard wrenches
• Compact profile suitable for use in confined or tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for industrial compressed gas systems requiring 1/8 inch NPT male high-pressure brass hex nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipe fitter or gas technician familiar with applicable codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing fittings. Apply thread sealant rated for the gas service and pressure class to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to thread damage under excessive force.
