View model pageGeneral guidance
In general, a nipple pipe is a short threaded pipe fitting used to join two other fittings, components or fluid-carrying parts in a piping or hose arrangement. A hexagon feature is typically a flat-sided section that allows a wrench or similar tool to grip the fitting, while the exact thread form and dimensions must be checked against the catalog.
Use part number 0046683 when referring to this nipple-pipe in the Caterpillar catalog. Before ordering, confirm the recorded catalog conditions for the machine, serial number and assembly where this part applies, as the listed associations do not establish compatibility across all configurations.
