Tube or nipple?

Both connect into the same fittings; the difference is who prepares the ends.

  • Tube is supplied plain and coned and threaded on site using a HIFLUX tooling set. This gives you exact lengths and the ability to rework a rig, but requires the tool and someone trained to use it.
  • Nipples arrive already coned and threaded at both ends, ordered to the length you specify. No tooling needed, and the preparation is done to the manufacturer's standard — which removes the most common cause of joint failure.

Most first-time buyers should start with nipples and add a tooling set once the system stabilises.

Bending tighter than these figures work-hardens the tube at the point of highest stress. Where the route will not allow the radius, use a fitting rather than forcing the bend.


Supporting the run

Small-bore tube under cycling or pulsating pressure fatigues at the thread root. Tube support products restrain the run; anti-vibration fitting sets address the joint itself. On a pump or compressor circuit, specify both.
