I’m not totally sure what you mean by a male/male nipple, but in general the point is to look and see how the seal is achieved.

You'll find the fitting in home and industrial settings, such as kitchens, factory floors and gardens. The last time I used it was on a running coupler around four decades ago, about the only time you encounter parallel male thread on a piece of ordinary iron pipe these days. Due to international chemical handling laws, we can only deliver chemicals and liquids to mainland UK. Tightening the joint firmly causes the taper to slightly expand the parallel female thread to conform with the male thread, and when jointing compound is used, this produces an efficient seal. That's my main concern with using it as I'm already working blind and at full stretch fitting it together so have a preference for ease of disassembly.There's a 3/4 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) male fitting at one end of the straight reducer, so you can attach it to a component with a female connector. For those who require adaptors that can bridge the gap between British Standard Pipe (BSP) and National Pipe Thread (NPT) connections, we also offer BSP to NPT thread adaptors. With a smear of compound applied to the inside of the female thread and a smear applied to the end of the male thread , you can be sure that compound will be present over the entire surfaces of the mated threads of the two parts. General purpose fittings with parallel male threads will generally have flanges to accommodate a sealing washer that can be compressed the effect a seal when the fitting is screwed fully home.

For really difficult situations with iron pipes, larger gaps etc, Boss White and hemp can still be a good solution, but its messy.Trust our extensive selection of thread reducers and adaptors to provide you with the flexibility and compatibility you need for your plumbing and piping projects. My understanding is that, for general purpose iron pipes and fittings, the modern usual practice is to use tapered male threads and parallel female threads.
