Abstract: In one embodiment, a high-pressure hose nipple includes a nipple body adapted on a first end for mating assembly with and providing a path of fluid communication to external piping, the nipple body adapted on a second end for selective assembly with and providing a path of fluid communication to other external piping, where a channel through the body provides a path of fluid communication between the first end and the second end, and a cylindrical bore disposed within the body at the second end where a diameter of the cylindrical bore exceeds an outside diameter of the external piping so that the external piping may cooperate with the hose nipple in a linear amount exceeding the outside diameter of the external piping.
