B K Mueller 560-060HC Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/8x6

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 560-060HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1/8 inch in diameter by 6 inches in length. Galvanized nipples serve as short threaded connectors between fittings, valves, and pipe runs in gas, water, and air distribution systems. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. This part is sold in a package of 10 units, making it practical for contractors running multiple connections on a single job. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and compressed air piping applications where a 1/8-inch threaded connection is required. Its 6-inch length accommodates standard offset installations where a close nipple or hex nipple would fall short. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exposed or semi-exposed installations where bare steel would be prone to surface rust.

Key Features

• 1/8-inch nominal pipe size with 6-inch body length
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Threaded on both ends for standard NPT fitting connections
• Sold in a package of 10 units per order
• Suitable for gas, water, and compressed air service per applicable local codes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 1/8-inch NPT fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas, and HVAC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas technician in accordance with the International Plumbing Code, International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply or gas service and relieve system pressure before removing or installing pipe nipples. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
