Rothenberger, 186, Thread-O-Matic 1" Nipple Chuck for Use with Panther 1SE, 2SE, 50R, 4SE
Nipple chucks convert unthreaded or short pipe lengths into useful close-threaded nipples. Faster and more economical to use than nipple chuck adapter systems
Plumbing fittings and couplings cover a variety of fixtures and appliances, suited to fit any possible need and situations. End-segments of pipes and hoses are regularly threaded into two "genders" - male and female. Those genders are needed to link segments of pipes or couplings, and the proper connection is only achieved by using opposite genders for the pieces. However, when two elements with female ends have to be connected, special fittings called nipples are utilized. Rothenberger 00186 nipple chuck is an appliance, specifically designed to create nipple fittings.
A pipe nipple is essentially a short segment of a pipe with male ends on both sides. Rothenberger 00186 is only a piece of equipment, required to create nipples from 1" pipes. A desired length of pipe is reamed and threaded from one side, it's cut off from the main piece. Then the nipple chuck comes into play. It's used to fix the threaded side, so the same process of reaming and threading can be performed on the other one. The great benefit of this model is that it locks the pipe from the inside, thus allowing the operator to create any desired lengths of a thread, and create a thread-to-thread nipple for precise pipe connections.
