B K Mueller 562-035HC Galvanized Pipe Nipple 3/8x3.5 in 10pk

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 562-035HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 3.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. The galvanized 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 repair work. This SKU is sold in a package of 10 pieces, making it practical for jobsite stock.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where 3/8 inch threaded connections are required. Typical applications include branch supply lines, valve connections, and close-quarter fitting assemblies. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for water service piping and damp or exposed environments where bare steel would corrode prematurely. Plumbers carrying standard nipple stock will find the 10-piece pack useful for service calls and rough-in work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock nipple for 3/8 inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading or replacing any nipple. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to a firm, leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
