J-Pipe Nipple

[2bclutch]

I want to tap my J-pipe and install a Nipple for the MBC. Does anyone know what size and where to get a nipple to do this?

Don't see anything. I'm sure there's someone that's done this.

1 x 1/8 npt (national pipe thread) tap.
1 x 1/8 npt to 1/8" fitting.
Drill bit set, start small and finish with 11/32".

Tap near the flange so you can dremel off excess fitting. Autozone, Pepboys......etc. will have what you need.

Thanks Oldman. Once again you swoop in and drop the info bomb.

I did similar to what oldman said and then just threw on some jb weld to make sure it wouldn't leak.

So they should have a 1/8" Nipple? And what's the reason for tapping near the flange?

That way you can get rid of the excess that sticks inside the j-pipe and shave it down so that it doesn't hinder flow as much.

You're welcome, Alex has got it right.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks!

Does this look like the correct one?

Yes, except there is no way in the world I would pay $14 + shipping for a fitting that should be at any hardware store. Personally at my home depot I couldn't find one any smaller than those, but when I got my dejon leak stop kit it came with some incredibly tiny fittings with large barbed ends that fit great.

I will do some searching around locally for sure. Just wanted to make sure the sizing was correct.

Try and get a 1/8" fitting, 1/4" is bigger than most fittings on a mbc.
