⚙️ Key Features

• 0.054 kg
• 11 applications across the TD, TAMD and TID series
• Threaded union fitting

🔌 Function

Forms a threaded union in a fluid line, joining a hose or pipe fitting to a port on the engine.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Weeping or seeping at the threaded joint
• Thread damaged or cross-started
• Corrosion pitting on the body
• Fitting cracked after over-tightening

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the bore is clear before fitting — a nipple is often the feed point or restriction for a circuit, and debris left in it will starve whatever it supplies
• On tapered threads use the paste or liquid sealant specified for the fluid concerned, applied a few threads back from the open end; avoid thread tape on fuel and oil lines, where a shed shred travels downstream into filters, pumps and injectors
• Where the nipple seals on a face or against a washer rather than on its thread, fit a new sealing washer instead of curing a weep by overtightening
• Tighten to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine — these are small fittings in castings and are easily stripped, or the surrounding boss cracked
• Support the pipe or hose so it meets the nipple square and without side load, then check the joint at working pressure and temperature
