A Better 1” MNPT Hex Nipple for Industrial Air & Water Hose Applications
A Simple Connection Problem That Adds Up
Traditional threaded nipples can transfer torque through the hose assembly during removal. This can make routine disconnection more difficult while contributing to unnecessary stress and wear on hose assemblies and connected equipment.
When there is limited control over which connection releases first, operators can end up fighting the hose assembly instead of the fitting.
More Control at the Connection
The Hexa 1” MNPT Hex Nipple was developed from real-world mining experience and designed for demanding industrial air and water hose applications. Integrated wrench flats allow for two-wrench engagement, giving users greater control over the connection and helping them select which side is disconnected.
It is a simple design improvement that provides easier handling, better control, and a more practical way to connect and disconnect industrial air and water hoses.

Developed Underground. Built for Industry.
The Hexa fitting was developed around the realities of underground mining — gloved hands, limited working space, demanding hose assemblies, and the need for greater control at the connection.
That field experience led to a simple improvement with applications well beyond mining: integrated wrench flats that provide a dedicated second grip point for connecting and disconnecting industrial air and water hoses.
