B K/mueller 565-035HC Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1x3.5 in

Product Description

The B K/Mueller Industries 565-035HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter by 3.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. This nipple features a hot-dip or mill galvanized zinc coating that resists corrosion in water supply, gas, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install nipples like this during rough-in work and system modifications. The package contains 10 pieces, making it suitable for job-site stocking or service vehicle inventory.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial pipe assemblies where a short threaded connector is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, compressed air distribution, and similar low-to-moderate pressure service. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for wet or damp environments where bare black iron would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 1 inch nominal pipe size with 3.5 inch overall length
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet service
• Threaded on both ends for standard NPT fitting connections
• Sold in a package of 10 pieces per unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded galvanized pipe nipple for use with compatible 1 inch galvanized fittings, valves, and couplings in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off the water supply or system pressure before removing or installing any piping component. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as excessive force can crack fittings or strip threads.
