Gewindestutzen

Gewindestutzen is a German term often translated as "threaded nipple" or "threaded stub" in English. It refers to a short, cylindrical piece of pipe or rod with external threads on one or both ends. These threaded ends are designed to connect to other threaded components, such as pipes, fittings, or equipment.

The primary function of a Gewindestutzen is to provide a secure and easily detachable connection point within a fluid or gas system. They are commonly used in plumbing, hydraulics, pneumatics, and various industrial applications where components need to be joined or disassembled without welding or permanent bonding. The threads allow for a mechanical connection that can be tightened to create a seal, often with the aid of sealing tape or paste.

Gewindestutzen are manufactured from a variety of materials, including brass, stainless steel, carbon steel, and plastic, depending on the specific application requirements for strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with the fluid being conveyed. The thread types can also vary, with common examples including standard pipe threads like NPT (National Pipe Taper) or BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, as well as metric threads. The length and diameter of a Gewindestutzen are also tailored to the specific needs of the application.
