MALE SPLICE FOR WELDING HEXAGON

Male splice to weld hexagon

A hexagon male weld fitting is a hydraulic transition component designed to permanently connect a pipe (by welding) to a threaded component (valve, pump, pressure gauge, or distributor block).

The key feature is its hexagonal body , which allows the use of a fixed or adjustable wrench to hold the piece while the coupled component is screwed on, avoiding transmitting torsional stresses to the weld.

This type of part is highly valued in hydraulic and fluid systems because it facilitates installation and maintenance.

Technical specifications

• Threaded male connection
• Smooth end for direct welding to pipe
• 60° conical closure fitting with BSP thread.
• Hexagonal area for tightening with a wrench
• Manufactured in carbon steel

Application sectors

• Chemical industry and refineries: Where welded joints are mandatory to prevent leaks of hazardous gases or liquids, but periodic valve maintenance is required.
• Steam installations: Where thermal expansion causes simple threads to loosen, the pipe support is welded.
• Hydraulic machinery: Used to adapt a rigid steel line to a threaded component.
