B K Mueller 564-025HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 3/4x2-1/2 in

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 564-025HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping assembly. The hot-dip galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, gas, and general plumbing piping systems in both residential and commercial settings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this component as part of threaded black or galvanized pipe assemblies. Each unit ships individually and is sold in packages of 15.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and water supply piping, and general utility installations where a short close or extension nipple is needed between threaded components. The 3/4 inch size is a standard diameter in water distribution and gas supply branches, making this nipple a frequent stock item for service trucks and shop inventory alike.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 3/4 inch nominal diameter with 2-1/2 inch overall length for close-coupling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation component for any 3/4 inch NPT threaded piping system using galvanized pipe fittings, valves, or equipment connections.

Installation Notes

Galvanized nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working under applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local adopted equivalents. Always apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or damage threads.
