sagefinds Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Being American Standard I think it's for coating the unthreaded,tapered nipples between boiler sections,maybe freeze plugs in engines,any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having to much fun with that one might just spiral down and out of control... but it does take a lot of control not to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Standard is a major manufacturer of plumbing fixtures, and I am not aware that they are connected to the automotive industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I agree it is for the nipples to join cast iron boiler sections. American Standard manufactured heating boilers until the mid-seventies. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made various sizes of radiator and boiler section nipples by the thousands for U.S. Boiler, Dunkirk (NY) Radiator, etc. Very lucrative Class 30 grey iron jobs to include machining them. Great value added. Next time you see a few radiator sections joined together there are pressed fit nipples joining them. (yes, folks grey iron is brittle yet once machined they press fit simply due to the tapered machining.) Regards, Peter J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
