B K Mueller 564-080HN 3/4x8 Inch Galvanized Pipe Nipple 10pk

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 564-080HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 8 inches in length, sold in a package of 10. Pipe nipples are short lengths of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, compressed air, and general mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component in both residential and light commercial systems.

This galvanized nipple is used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping assemblies where a short, rigid threaded connection is required. Common applications include water distribution lines, boiler piping, sprinkler system drop lines, and gas piping where galvanized fittings are code-approved. The 3/4 inch nominal pipe size is one of the most common diameters found in residential water supply and mechanical room installations. The 10-unit pack suits service contractors and plumbing shops that need job-site quantities on hand.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight using a pipe wrench. Note that galvanized pipe is not approved for gas service in all jurisdictions — verify local code compliance before use in gas applications.
