B K Mueller 564-030HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 3/4x3 in

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 564-030HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch diameter by 3 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other pipe components in a run. The galvanized zinc coating protects the base steel from corrosion, making this nipple suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these as standard components in both new construction and retrofit work. This nipple ships in a package quantity of 15 pieces per unit of measure.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems. Typical applications include connecting threaded valves to pipe runs, completing fixture supply connections, and building out threaded pipe assemblies where a short close-coupled section is needed. The 3/4 inch size is one of the most common diameters found in residential water supply and gas branch lines.

Key Features

• Galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for water and gas service environments
• 3/4 inch nominal diameter with 3 inch overall length for close-coupled connections
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection to fittings, valves, and couplings
• Steel construction provides durability under pressure and mechanical stress
• Sold in a package of 15 pieces for job-lot or shop stock use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded galvanized pipe nipple for use with 3/4 inch threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in plumbing and gas piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, or IFGC requirements depending on the service. Shut off water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant or pipe tape appropriate for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
