What is a nipple 3/4 inch pipe fitting?
Steel threaded fittings are bushes, sockets, nipples and other screwed parts made from mild or carbon steel. They join small steel lines for water, steam, air and fuel.
Mild steel is strong and easy to thread. However, it rusts if unprotected, so it is painted, galvanized or kept in dry or oil service.
