A Galvanized Iron Hex Gi Nipple is a type of pipe fitting made from galvanized iron and typically used for connecting two sections of pipe. It is called a "hex nipple" due to its hexagonal shape, which allows for easy tightening and installation using a wrench. Hex nipples are commonly used in plumbing, gas lines, and industrial applications where two pipes need to be connected, and their threading allows for secure and reliable connections.

1. Material:

   • Galvanized Iron: Galvanized iron is iron or steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. This makes galvanized iron hex nipples highly durable, especially in environments where they are exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions.
   • The galvanization provides a protective coating that extends the life of the pipe fitting by preventing corrosion and rust, which is especially important in plumbing, water systems, and industrial settings.

2. Hexagonal Shape:

   • The hexagonal shape of the nipple gives it six flat surfaces, allowing it to be easily tightened or loosened using a standard wrench or pipe tool. This design ensures that the nipple can be installed securely and with minimal effort.

3. Threading:

   • Hex nipples are typically threaded at both ends, allowing them to screw into corresponding threaded fittings or pipes. These threads can be either NPT (National Pipe Thread) or BSPT (British Standard Pipe Thread), depending on the regional or industrial standards.
   • The threads ensure a tight seal, minimizing the chances of leaks and providing a secure connection between pipes.
