Asked by Pompchas June 30, 20201
AnswerThis fitting is 1/4” pipe thread on both sides and will not work for this application. To adapt a 1/4” NPT thread to a 1/4” compression hose you would want to use this fitting instead https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-4-in-OD-Compression-x-1-4-in-MIP-Brass-Adapter-Fitting-801079/207176793.

I have used these hex nipples for a lot of projects and prefer hex nipples to the usual straight nipples. They are easier to tighten or remove securely without gouging the surface of the pipe. They have smooth threads and the proper taper to make a leakproof fit.
