Don't buy 3/4 inch galvanized nipples made in China either. I put a
pair on a water filter I installed. The first set made it a month or

is going after a year. I just ordered up a pair of american made
nipples to hopefully put the problem to rest once and for all.

I think the secret weapon against us is making ill fitting shoes.
