Thanks. You answered my questions. Never used them. I have always used a coupling or a union.

    Strange pipe nipple

    Looking through some old stock, I found several pipe nipples with both left and right-handed threads on the same nipple. They are 3/4 x 3" and 1/2 x 2 1/2". It appears that they could have been used between two fittings to draw them together. Any ideas where they might have been used?

    This may be what they are given the description.

    L & R nipples

    are very common in my area as many CI rads-on-feet are LH tapped.
    I keep quite a few in stock.

    L&R nipples for use with L&R cpgls for gas line repair work, You would have to use them instead of unions. Have used quite a few in N.Y
