	Pl. clear my doubt.We use nipple in place of pipe because : 1. Strength of Nipple is more 2. Nipple is a readymade item. Use nipple only for vent,drain,instrument connections. Pl. clarify. __________________ Be simple and specific for a great success in Life

	"Nipple" is just another name for a short length of pipe (12" and shorter). Unless you say "Swedge Nipple," then you mean a reducer for pipe sizes 2" and under. Complicated isn't it? __________________ Do it once and do it right
