B K Mueller 563-100HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 0.5x10in 15pk

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 563-100HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. Galvanized construction provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. This SKU ships in a package of 15 units, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple connections. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems. It is well suited for water supply lines, sprinkler system headers, compressed air distribution, and other applications where threaded steel pipe connections are specified. The galvanized coating resists rust and oxidation in wet or humid environments, extending service life in exposed or semi-exposed installations.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 10-inch body length for medium-reach pipe connections
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Sold in a 15-unit package, reducing per-piece cost on multi-connection jobs
• Compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for any 0.5-inch NPT threaded steel piping system in residential or light commercial plumbing, gas, or mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading this nipple into place. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
