By "nipple", I assume you mean the Schrader valve fuel pressure test connection... and no, it "don't come off".
Take the plastic cap off. Remove the valve core using a tire valve core tool (hold a rag over it, fuel will spray out). Attach a -4AN braided hose. Do not over-tighten.... the "nipple" will break off very easilly.
If you want to do a neater job, get an NOS part # 17535 -4AN 90deg "swivel" fitting. That will point the connection away from the cowl, and allow you to tighten it facing in any direction, without worrying about over-tightening.
Depending on what kind of fuel pressure gauge you are talking about, you may have to convert to a 1/8" NPT female thread.
