Pipe nipple is use as connector to both pipe which have female end. It does not same as pipe reducer which nipple has same diameter throughout both end and threaded. Pipe reducer has different diameter for both end and it is use to join different pipe diameter.
Lead wipe a brass nipple into the lead pipe and then use a female adapter x PVC on the brass threads
A pipe nipple is a fitting, consisting of a short piece of pipe, usually to connect 2 pipe fittings. Sch 10 indicates the wall thickness of the pipe nipple. For example a sch 10 1" diameter nipple will have a wall thickness of 0.19". These standard wall thicknesses are specified in ASME B36.10M. A chart listing standard wall thicknesses can be found here: http://www.allsteelpipe.com/Pipe-Dimensions-Weights-Chart.pdf
A pipe nipple is a short piece of pipe with male threads on both ends. It is used in plumbing systems to connect two female threaded fittings together. The nipple acts as a bridge between the two fittings, allowing for a secure and leak-proof connection.

You insert the correct size wrench into the pipe and as you unscrew it, a cam grabs the inside and hopefully unscrews the nipple. It may break also. Most pipes are rusted too tight for an internal pipe wrench to loosen them. What you can do that takes a little time is insert a hacksaw blade in the nipple and cut a notch through the nipple. This relives the pressure on the nipple. Tap around the edge with a screwdriver or chisel and then try the wrench. For extremely rusty pipes, cut the nipple in 3 places and knock out the pieces.
That would be a piece of threaded pipe whose length is 2 to 3 times the diameter of the pipe.
A nipple driver is a tool used in plumbing installations to tighten or loosen pipe nipples. Its purpose is to make it easier to install or remove pipe nipples in tight spaces or hard-to-reach areas. The nipple driver typically has a handle and a socket that fits over the pipe nipple, allowing the user to turn it with more leverage and precision than using a wrench alone.
back bleed is always the best. Use a oil can wth pipe on the end to the bleed nipple. Open nipple and pump like mad until fluid is at its level on master cylinder
A nipple driver tool is used in plumbing installations to tighten or loosen pipe nipples, which are short pieces of pipe with male threads at both ends. The purpose of a nipple driver tool is to make it easier to install or remove pipe nipples in tight spaces where a wrench or other tools may not fit. The tool typically has a handle and a socket that fits over the pipe nipple, allowing the user to turn it with leverage to secure or loosen the connection.
You can put the steel pipe inside of the lead and melt the lead to seal it. That's takes experience and some talent. You can join them with a rubber sleeve that is the right size on each end and held in place with hose clamps. One cannot solder/ lead wipe lead to steel as one is ferrous and the other non ferrous metal You can lead wipe /solder lead to copper /bronze / brass To join to steel one had to lead wipe a brass nipple (called solder nipple) into the lead pipe and you have either male or female threads and then a union or left and right nipple and coupling to make a proper connection.'' By the way you cannot do a lead poured joint of steel into lead you can put the steel into a cast Iron hub and then use a caulked joint. Also the use of a no hub or a mechanical coupling will not be good for a water or gas tight against a lead pipe as lead is to soft.
try 2 pipe wrenches or cut the pipe and remove remaining with a nipple extractor avail about any plumbing supply or home center
Pipe is threaded outside making it a male end, or inside making it a female end. The pipe in this picture is bizarrely called a " short male nipple"
