B K Mueller 565-030HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1x3 Inch

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 565-030HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter by 3 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings, couplings, or valves in a piping system. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to water supply, compressed air, and general industrial plumbing lines. This nipple is a standard component stocked and installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial and residential systems.

This nipple is commonly used in water distribution, steam, compressed air, and general service piping applications where a short close or shoulder nipple is required. It is sold in a package of 10 units, making it practical for contractors completing multiple connections on the same job. Typical install scenarios include manifold assemblies, riser connections, valve tie-ins, and equipment supply lines where a 1-inch NPT threaded connection is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the line before making any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
