B K Mueller 561-060HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 0.25x6 in 10 Pack

Product Description

The B K Mueller 561-060HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 0.25 inches nominal diameter by 6 inches in length. Galvanized nipples serve as short threaded connectors between fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments, extending service life in applications where bare steel would degrade. This type of nipple is a standard component in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial piping systems and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on water supply, gas distribution, or general utility lines.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, irrigation connections, compressed air lines, and similar utility piping applications where a short threaded male connector is required. The 6-inch length makes it appropriate for bridging moderate gaps between fittings or transitioning between equipment ports. Each package contains 10 nipples, making this listing practical for service trucks, maintenance stock, or multi-point installations requiring consistent hardware.

Key Features

• Zinc galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor service environments
• 0.25-inch nominal diameter fits standard quarter-inch threaded fittings and valves
• 6-inch body length suits applications requiring a moderate-reach male threaded connector
• Sold in a package of 10 units for efficient stocking and multi-point installations
• Male NPT threads on both ends for straightforward integration into standard piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement nipple for use in residential and commercial piping systems requiring 0.25-inch NPT male threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the supply line and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC or IFGC standards as required by the system type.
