Miller 16567 Plated Brass Hex Nipple for Welding Equipment

Ensure the integrity of your welding gas equipment with the Miller 16567 1/4" x 1/4" NPT Hex Nipple. In the world of welding and metal fabrication, the reliability of your gas delivery system is paramount. Leaks not only waste expensive shielding or cutting gases but can also lead to weld defects and safety hazards. This genuine Miller Smith fitting is engineered to provide a secure, leak-free connection between regulators, flowmeters, and hoses, ensuring your equipment performs at its best.

Constructed from high-quality brass and finished with durable plating, this hex nipple is built to withstand the wear and tear of the shop floor. The plating provides superior resistance to oxidation compared to bare brass, which is particularly beneficial in environments where humidity or chemical fumes might be present. The 1/4-inch NPT male threads are the industry standard for many gas regulators and manifold connections, making this a highly versatile spare part for any welder's toolkit.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the clearly defined hexagonal grip. This feature allows for the use of an adjustable or open-end wrench to tighten the fitting securely. The hex shape also provides a solid surface for backing up the connection when attaching hoses or other components, preventing twisting and potential damage to downstream equipment. Whether you are setting up a new TIG welding station or repairing an oxy-fuel cutting outfit, this nipple provides the structural integrity and sealing capability you need.
