No one that I have ever seen makes bronze nipples. Bronze is cast and brass pipes can be extruded. Bronze does not extrude well into pipe form thus no bronze nipples. Again as i said there is no need for either red brass or bronze in a fuel system. Moeller (used to be Tempo) is one of the largest suppliers of marine fuel fittings and they are all brass. ABYC does not specify anything other than brass either..
