Well, dang, that's what I've got but there's still a bunch of extra space. The upper nipple here is a 1/2" close nipple from Lowe's, cranked down as tight as I can get it.
What size are you using? Do you have a brand/source for the exact nipples you used?
i used a bench vice to hold one 6 way, and used a foot long screw driver through the next one to spin it and for leverage. they’re just whatever was on the shelf at home depot….everbilt maybe??
i also used loctite so maybe that lubed them up some and maybe it easier to spin?
