B K Mueller 560-025HC Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/8x2-1/2 in

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 560-025HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal pipe thread by 2-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings or to extend a threaded pipe run. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these as standard components in both new construction and retrofit work. This nipple ships in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for multi-point installations or service vehicle stocking.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and drain piping, and low-pressure gas line assemblies where galvanized steel fittings are specified. The 1/8-inch nominal size fits small-diameter branch connections, instrument ports, and gauge taps common in mechanical systems. Plumbers and gas fitters reach for this size when making final connections to pressure gauges, drains, or control-valve ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC codes for the intended service. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
