-   0.011 kg
-   70 applications across six engine series
-   Supersedes 961654
-   Small threaded hose spigot
-   Quantity varies by assembly, most commonly one

## 🔌 Function

Screws into a small port to give a spigot for a hose or pipe, most often on a low-pressure feed or vent line.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Slight weep or crusted residue at the fitting
-   Hose leaking despite a tight clip because the spigot is corroded
-   Thread stripped in a light alloy port
-   Bore blocked by debris, so the line no longer breathes

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Small nipples strip their ports easily - tighten by feel and do not lever on the hose
-   Check the bore is clear before refitting the hose
