Hydraulic hose nipples are used to connect hydraulic hose to either a hydraulic fitting or to a piece of equipment. They are used along with a hydraulic hose socket to connect to the ends of hydraulic hose and make up a hose assembly.
Hex nipples come in handy during applications that require you to connect two brass or steel pipes, both with female ends. Common applications involve automotive, plumbing, or industrial.
