B K Mueller 564-060HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 3/4x6 in 10-pack

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 564-060HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other pipe components in a run. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping applications. This package contains 10 nipples, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple connections or for restocking field inventory. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. Common applications include water supply lines, sprinkler system risers, compressed air distribution, and gas piping where local codes permit galvanized steel fittings. The 3/4 inch size is one of the most frequently specified pipe diameters in residential construction and retrofit work, fitting standard NPT (National Pipe Thread) valves, couplings, elbows, and tees.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch diameter x 6 inch length for a common mid-range nipple size
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Standard NPT threading on both ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• Sold in a 10-pack quantity for multi-connection jobs and inventory stocking
• Each unit sold as an individual piece (EA) within the package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-size replacement or new-installation galvanized pipe nipple for use with 3/4 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply or gas source and depressurize the line before removing or installing any pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Tighten fittings using pipe wrenches; avoid overtightening, which can crack fittings or strip threads.
