I am trying to find a source for a similar piece of pipe. It is about
1.25 in diameter with a 5/8ths nipple installed at a 45 degree angle.
Appears to be galvanized or black iron.


Any ideas?

A gas pipe fittings supplier.
For water, galvanised is allowed in most codes.

Brian Whatcott Altus OK


It is actually threaded pipe with NPT threads at each end. No cast
iron to be seen.

Mechanic on the same dock said it was common to see on a universal
diesel (marinized Kubota). Just trying to not reinvent the wheel. I
think the gas pipe fitting supplier is the next stop..
