Hose nipples
A hose nipple ensures the optimal function and tightness of your boat's hoses. At Biltema, you can choose from hose nipples in various sizes and with external threads. You can also find your hose collector on this page at Biltema.
Manage your boat's hoses with a hose nipple or hose collector
As a boat owner, it's essential to keep track of both the big and small details. One of these details is the boat's hoses, which play a crucial role in the boat's functioning. And that's where a hose nipple comes in, as does a hose collector, of course. A hose collector can also be just as important in an installation on board the boat, so they're great to have on hand, along with other fittings.
A hose nipple is a crucial component that allows you to connect different hoses on a boat. You also need a hose nipple when you need to connect a hose to the tap. The hose nipple ensures that the boat's hoses function optimally and seal tightly. The hose nipple helps to ensure that the hoses are properly secured and do not leak. A hose collector provides the option to extend your hoses, offering valuable assistance and potential solutions for more complex boat installations.
A hose nipple can also help extend the life of your hoses. By ensuring that hoses are correctly fitted, you minimise the risk of wear and tear and the need for frequent replacements.
What material are hose nipples and hose collectors made of?
Hose nipples are typically made of brass. There's a good reason for this, as brass is a durable and robust material. This is essential for a hose nipple that must withstand the pressure generated by the water in the hose. In addition, brass is resistant to corrosion, which is equally important when the hose nipple is used in a humid environment. Our hose nipples are dezincification resistant with alloy CW602N. Max. Reputation test for PN10 (test pressure min. 14.3 bar).
Biltema's hose collector sets are made of POM (polyoxymethylene); the package contains 68 pieces, and unfortunately, they are not intended for use with drinking water. Please be aware of this and read the further specifications, such as the inner diameter, for the individual item number.
Thread on hose nipples
To ensure a tight and secure connection between your hoses, it's essential to select the correct type of hose nipple. An externally threaded hose nipple is ideal for connecting a hose to a component with an internal thread. Of course, you may be looking for internally threaded hose nipples, but the Biltema range does not currently offer this.

What is the difference between internal and external hose nipple threads?
Female and male threads refer to the method by which the hose nipple connects to the hose or another component. An externally threaded hose nipple is ideal for connecting a hose to a component with an internal thread. And vice versa.
