Swagelok SS-8-HRN-4 316 Stainless Steel Hex Reducing Nipple, 1/2 in. Male NPT x 1/4 in. Male NPT

Bridge two pipe sizes in one clean, wrench-ready fitting. The Swagelok SS-8-HRN-4 hex reducing nipple gives you a 1/2 in. male NPT end on one side and a 1/4 in. male NPT end on the other, both machined into 316 stainless steel. You use it to step a 1/2 in. header down to a 1/4 in. instrument, gauge, or valve without stacking a bushing and a nipple. The center hex takes your wrench square, so you torque it home fast and leave no wobble. Refineries, power plants, and analytical systems lean on this reducer because it saves a joint, saves height in tight panels, and passes inspection with one clean seal instead of two. The 316 stainless body stands up to chlorides and aggressive media that eat carbon steel. Every nipple is forged and thread-cut to Swagelok standards, so it mates with your existing NPT hardware right out of the bin. Need other reductions or the straight hex nipple to match?
