In construction, "nipples" typically refer to short lengths of pipe with threads on both ends, used to connect two other fittings or pipes. They are specified by their diameter, length, and material, such as steel, brass, or PVC, and are chosen based on the requirements of the piping system, including pressure and temperature specifications. The threading, usually NPT (National Pipe Thread) or BSP (British Standard Pipe), is also an important specification for ensuring compatibility with other components.
