B K Mueller 564-055HC Galvanized Pipe Nipple 0.75x5.5in 25pk

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 564-055HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 0.75 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping applications. This nipple ships in a package of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking their truck or completing multi-fixture installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This galvanized nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and piping systems where threaded steel pipe connections are required. Common applications include water distribution lines, gas supply runs, and mechanical room piping. The 0.75-inch diameter is one of the most commonly specified sizes in residential and small commercial work, fitting standard pipe schedules and off-the-shelf fittings without modification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off the water supply or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or distort threads.
