OVERVIEW

Reliable Gas Connections with Miller 16567 Hex Nipple

The Miller 16567 1/4" x 1/4" NPT Hex Nipple is a critical component for professionals maintaining or assembling gas manifold systems and regulator setups. Manufactured by Miller Smith, a leader in gas apparatus, this fitting is designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments. Unlike standard raw brass fittings, this unit features a plated finish. This plating not only gives the component a clean, professional look but also adds a layer of protection against environmental corrosion and tarnishing, ensuring the fitting remains easy to service and inspect over its lifespan.

Precision machining is at the heart of this component's performance. The 1/4-inch National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads are cut to exact tolerances, ensuring they mesh perfectly with other standard NPT female fittings. This precision is vital for creating a gas-tight seal, preventing leaks that could compromise system efficiency or safety. The hexagonal center section is sized for standard wrenches, allowing technicians to apply the necessary torque for a secure fit without stripping the hex or damaging the fitting body.

Whether you are repairing a gas regulator, extending a manifold, or fabricating a custom gas delivery system, using genuine Miller parts like the 16567 nipple ensures compatibility and reliability. Its robust construction handles the pressures associated with standard welding and cutting gases, making it a versatile addition to any maintenance inventory. Trust in the quality of Miller Smith fittings to keep your operations running smoothly and safely.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of high-quality fittings in maintaining safe and efficient gas distribution systems. This plated hex nipple represents the standard of quality required for professional applications, offering both durability and ease of installation.

FAQ

This nipple features 1/4-inch NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads on both ends.

Yes, it is constructed from brass and features a plated finish for added durability and corrosion resistance.

While brass is generally compatible with oxygen, all components used for oxygen service must be kept free of oil and grease. This is a Miller Smith gas part, typically designed for such applications, but verify cleanliness before use.

You will need a standard wrench or adjustable wrench that fits the hexagonal center section of the nipple.

This is a hex nipple, which means it has male threads on both ends.

The plating protects the underlying brass from tarnishing and corrosion, extending the life of the fitting and maintaining a clean appearance.

No, thread sealant (like PTFE tape or paste) is not included and should be applied separately for a leak-proof seal.

Yes, this is a genuine Miller (Miller Smith) part, number 16567.
