Description
The Aqualon 12597 High-Pressure Circular Nipple is a 3/8″ OD coned-and-threaded stainless-steel tube used in OMAX high-pressure plumbing circuits. Its circular-loop geometry allows controlled flexibility and vibration absorption, helping to prevent stress on fittings, manifolds, and cutting-head connections. This component serves as a verified replacement for OMAX 305775 and is built for reliable operation at 60,000 PSI.
Key Features
• Direct replacement for OMAX 305775
• 3/8″ OD high-pressure stainless-steel nipple
• Circular-loop geometry for controlled flex and vibration damping
• Coned-and-threaded ends rated for 60K PSI
• Helps reduce strain on HP fittings and Z-axis movement points
• Manufactured to OEM-equivalent tolerances for consistent sealing
Applications / Compatibility
• Manufacturer: OMAX
• Function: High-pressure circular nipple used for vibration management and controlled flex in HP plumbing
• Assembly locations may include:
– Pump-side plumbing loops
– HP manifolds
– Z-axis or cutting-head feed lines (machine dependent)
• Confirmed compatibility: OMAX systems that specify OMAX 305775
(Always verify geometry and length against your specific machine’s HP plumbing list.)
Installation Notes
• Follow OMAX high-pressure plumbing procedures
• Inspect cones and threads before installation
• Maintain the original routing path of the circular loop
• Ensure the loop sits freely without rubbing or over-extension
• Pressure-test after installation to confirm leak-free performance
Why Replace?
Circular HP nipples are subjected to constant vibration, thermal cycling, and pressure load. Over time this causes fatigue cracks, thread wear, or distortion of the loop geometry. A worn or damaged circular nipple can lead to leaks, misalignment, or stress on adjacent components. Replacing with Aqualon 12597 restores safe flexibility, vibration control, and high-pressure integrity in OMAX plumbing systems.
