What is a Nipple?
(From Tthe "Training" section "Fittings")
"Nipples: A Nipple is a name given to a short length of pipe. It is not really a fitting in the same context as an elbow or a Tee. Nipples are cut from pipe and can be purchased in 4", 6" and 12" standard lengths. Pipe Nipples can also be made by the piping crew in the field."

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
A Nipple is used in Screwed and Socket-Weld construction (normally 2" and smaller piping) for the assembly of tight complex configurations such as a Control Valve Manifold. They are also used for short dead end branches such as Vents, Drains and Pressure Connections.

A Nipple would not normally be used as an "In-Line" piping component. They are used on the short dead end branches which operators sometimes tend to use as a step ladder to reach high valves.
