Bell nipple
 | This article appears to be a dictionary definition. (February 2011) |
A bell nipple is a section of pipe with a flared top, fitted to the top of the blowout preventers that the flow line attaches to via a side outlet, to allow the drilling fluid to flow back over the shale shakers to the mud tanks.[1]
