[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1035729, member: 61136"] Todd, I liked the one piece main body, plus I trusted the forged nipple. In the old days of sheet metal type nipples. I have had them to rust rot. If they were screw in type from SS or bronze. They held up, and when they did get thin. They were easy to screw out of the cast iron. For replacment. With the correct coolant mix, they lasted forever, almost. Most of the old style were NPT threads. I have used pipe nipples in a pinch. [/QUOTE]
