Product description

This 3/8 NPT Close Nipple is a high-precision pneumatic fitting used in the air control manifolds of Coats tire changers. Its "close" design means it is threaded from end to end, allowing for the tightest possible connection between two female-threaded air components, such as valves and filters. In the compact internal housing of a tire changer, space is at a premium, making these specialized nipples indispensable for efficient plumbing. Using the correct NPT fitting ensures a leak-free seal, which is vital for maintaining the constant air pressure required for clamping and bead breaking. Corrosion or stripped threads on an old fitting can cause air leaks that lead to inconsistent machine performance. This replacement nipple is made from durable materials to withstand the repeated pressure cycles of daily automotive service.
