The No.15 universal nipple from O.S. Engine functions as the link between the carburettor outlet and flexible fuel tubing on glow engines. It is supplied to replace damaged nipples and ensure steady fuel flow for model engines used in hobby and maintenance work.
To fit the part, remove the failed nipple, inspect and clean the carburettor outlet, then install the new nipple according to how the carburettor retains the fitting. Depending on the design the nipple may be a press fit, need a retaining clip, or be held by a small clamp.
Keeping a correctly seated and clean nipple helps prevent fuel leaks and stabilise engine idle and throttle response. Regular inspection of tubing and seals is recommended as part of routine engine care.
