Abstract
A fuel filter nipple with a sleeve portion that fits directly into a fuel filter housing. One flange abuts and is brazed onto the housing. The nipple is formed of a tubular member with longitudinally spaced openings, one of which is larger than the other. One end of the sleeve portion defines the first opening, while the other end of it forms the flange which abuts the housing. The tubular member has a body portion extending from the flange to the other opening, as well as another flange located somewhere along the body portion.
