Can anyone please advise whether the cast iron radiator section nipples which are threded (not push nipples) are left or right hand when viewed from the end section? Has anyone ever disassembled and re-assembled a cast iron radiator with threaded nipples? Thank you!

    They are both!!

    Threaded nipples are RH threaded on one end and LH on the other (as you turn the nipple, it would draw the sections together or spread them apart). As far as I know, they don't come apart after being in service for any length of time...

    Sorry :-(
