T-Nipples & Vacuum Nipples
T-nipples and vacuum nipples are foundational fittings in many fluid and vacuum systems. These machined connectors allow for branching, system extension, or integration into larger assemblies.
MS Machining offers nipples in various sizes and thread types, specifically optimized to maintain vacuum integrity and ensure leak-free performance. Applications range from laboratory equipment to industrial process piping.
Available Materials: 304 stainless steel, brass, aluminum
Use Cases: Vacuum chambers, sensor systems, multi-port manifolds

Weld, Inlet & Outlet Flanges
We manufacture precision flanges designed to maintain seal integrity in both pressurized and vacuum-rated systems. Weld flanges are machined to enable seamless integration, while inlet and outlet flanges are designed for modular attachment to valves, chambers, and pipe systems.
Each flange is CNC-machined to customer specifications or standard profiles and may be certified to meet ISO 9001 quality benchmarks.
Flange Types: Weld-on, bolt-on, threaded
Industry Standards: ASME, DIN, ISO (upon request)
Valve Seats & Valve Bodies
Valve seats and bodies are essential for precise flow regulation in mechanical systems. Our CNC-machined parts deliver smooth surfaces, tight dimensional tolerances, and reliable sealing under both vacuum and fluid pressure.
We machine valve housings and inserts to accommodate specific flow rates, pressure classes, and mating components such as O-rings and seals.
Tolerance Capability: ±0.005 mm
Typical Configurations: Butterfly valves, gate valves, diaphragm valves

Tips for Ordering Fluid & Vacuum Parts
Selecting the correct fluid and vacuum components is crucial to maintaining system integrity and optimal performance. Here are key considerations to make the best choice for your application:
Choose the Right Material
Consult with one of our specialists to determine the optimal material for your system’s requirements. Consider factors such as environmental stress, pressure conditions, and corrosion resistance. For applications requiring durability in harsh conditions, 304 stainless steel is an ideal choice. For less demanding systems, aluminum or brass may be more suitable.
Ensure Accurate Sizes & Threads
Precision is essential. Verify that the vacuum nipples and T-nipples match the exact size and thread specifications required for your assembly. Even slight misfits can lead to leakage or compromised performance, which could result in costly downtime.
Understand Pressure Specifications
If your system is exposed to high pressure, choose high-pressure flanges designed for strength and reliability under these conditions. These parts are engineered to handle stress and maintain system integrity in extreme environments.
Request Custom Configurations
For specialized applications, we offer tailored solutions. Whether you need custom vacuum system hardware or pipe connectors, send your CAD drawings to ensure we meet your exact specifications.
Check Compatibility Across Components
Ensure that valve bodies and valve seats are compatible with the other components in your system. Proper integration is crucial for avoiding assembly issues and ensuring optimal system performance.
