Heater Nipple
« on: July 11, 2016 - 12:22:58 PM »
Does anyone know where I can buy the nipple that goes on the water pump, thread 3/8 NPT by 11/16 in diameter in Stainless Steel 316 ? Here is a picture of a non-stainless steel one. Thx.

 :2cents: Might try finding a SS nipple a little longer than the correct length and cut the threads off one end. The 3/8" NPT is a standard so SS will be the same as steel, aluminum, etc. The slight undercut is for the clamp to seat the hose to the fitting--maybe you could do without the undercut if you used a regular worm style clamp.
