Part 228-002 is a replacement hex nipple adapter used in fluid and hydraulic systems on compatible spray equipment. This adapter connects components with different thread types or sizes, providing a leak-free transition. When the original adapter becomes damaged, corroded, or develops leaks, replacement restores proper system connections.

The 228-002 hex nipple adapter is a direct replacement fluid connector for a wide range of spray equipment including Admiral, Commander, Hydr M nad Hydra Pro Super, Hydra M and Hydra Pro 2000_4000, PowrLiner 4900, PowrLiner 8900, and multiple PowrTwin models (4900GH, 6900GH, 8900GH, 12000 GHD, 12000GH Insert, 12000GH, 12000GHD). This adapter features male threads on both ends with a hexagonal center section for wrench engagement, allowing it to join components with different thread sizes or types while providing a secure, leak-free connection. It is commonly used in hydraulic systems, fluid supply lines, and pressure circuits where reliable sealing under pressure is essential. A damaged or corroded adapter can cause fluid leaks, pressure loss, and system contamination. This replacement adapter is manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials with precision-cut threads to match original specifications. The hex design allows easy installation and removal with standard wrenches. Regular inspection of adapters during maintenance helps identify wear or damage before it leads to system failure.
