- Uniform flow distribution -
Our Balance Nipple features a hexagonal outer profile, identical to a standard hex nipple, ensuring seamless integration and ease of installation into existing piping systems and manifolds.
Internally, the component is engineered with a staggered sequence of cross-arranged orifice plates. This multi-orifice design delivers distinct technical advantages: it facilitates a gradual, staged pressure drop and significantly mitigates the risk of cavitation erosion. The internal chambers situated between each consecutive orifice stage function as acoustic and fluidic dampeners, providing an effective damping effect.
When installed at the manifold outlet, the Balance Nipple selectively restricts flow at high-velocity discharge ports, thereby optimizing hydraulic balance across all outlets for uniform flow distribution.
Each unit is a custom-engineered, specialized component. The exact number of orifice plates and the hole configurations are precisely determined and tailored to match the required relationship between the target pressure drop and the volumetric flow rate.
Our Balancer nipples guarantee a high level of precision by delivering superior distribution efficiency and keeping the standard deviation of flow distribution at each outlet within ±10%.
Furthermore, we custom-design and manufacture the size and number of orifice holes to perfectly match the specific pressure drop and flow rate required by our customers.
By providing these tailored solutions that meet your exact application needs, we enhance your product performance and elevate your market competitiveness.

Oder Coding Example:
"When placing an order, please select the appropriate product model based on your specific load pressure and the required flow rate passing through the orifice. For a detailed guide on how to configure your product part number, please refer to the Order Coding Example provided below."
Note
This product is engineered according to the differential pressure between the inlet and outlet, along with the corresponding flow rate. Should you encounter any difficulties or require technical support in selecting non-standard products, please feel free to reach out to us by email.
- Characteristic curve-
"The flow rate relative to the load pressure exhibits a nearly linear curve, allowing for precise flow control simply by adjusting the opening of the system's ball valve."
"Applying a multi-stage orifice design, our Balancer Nipples effectively manages differential pressures by reducing pressure in gradual stages. This advanced engineering prevents cavitation, minimizes noise and vibration, and significantly extends valve lifespan under harsh conditions."
"Featuring internal damping chambers, our balancer Nipples design controls fluid discharge to ensure uniform flow distribution across multiple manifold outlets."
-Examining the Uniformity of Flow Distribution in Hot Water Manifolds-
"It ensures uniform flow distribution across multiple manifold outlets with minimal deviation, even when connected to PEX coils of varying lengths and flow resistance."
"While conventional systems rely on high pump power to increase manifold pressure for uniform flow, our product achieves precise, even flow distribution even at lower pump speeds, significantly reducing overall power consumption."
