Why the name[edit]

Anyone know why there are called nipples? --njh 03:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the image in the German article explains. When you screw it into a pipe, you have a nipple: whatever comes next in the plumbing can securely attach itself and take the fluids coming out, just like a baby :-) Ziounclesi (talk) 23:33, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nipple Length[edit]

At my local hardware store pipe nipples are sold based on their overall length, not the length of the unthreaded section as stated in the article. It may depend on the Standard they are manufactuted to. Seattle, WA, USA 67.183.177.34 01:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Nipple quarter inch.jpg[edit]

Image:Nipple quarter inch.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
