Nipples, TEes, & Crosses

for complex vacuum configurations

From accelerator beam lines to quantum computing systems - and in nearly every complex vacuum system found across every industry - these specialty components and chambers are critical. Atlas manufactures custom nipples, tees and crosses from solid titanium or aluminum with bimetal titanium/aluminum or aluminum/stainless CF flanges. Whatever your need, we can help.

Aluminum, titanium & Bimetal

Choose aluminum for reduced contamination, increased thermal control, and non-magnetic properties. Titanium offers similar benefits with lighter weight and greater corrosion resistance.


Bimetal flanges make it easy to connect to other system components and are mechanically robust, totally hermetic, and remain ductile in pyrolytic or cryogenic temperatures. Flanges on crosses, tees and nipples range in size from 2.75" to 14".


The Atlas onsite, in-house engineering team works closely with customers to bring their ideas to fruition, and improve functionality, performance and manufacturability.


Our customers use nipples, half nipples, tees, and crosses in:

  • Particle accelerators and physics research
  • Quantum computing and cryogenics
  • Aerospace applications in space, testing and research
  • Semiconductor manufacturing
  • Emerging energy technologies and processes
