B K Mueller 565-060HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1x6 in 5 Pack

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 565-060HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter by 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components. This nipple arrives with a zinc galvanized coating that resists corrosion in wet or exposed plumbing environments. It is a standard fitting used in residential and commercial piping systems by licensed plumbers and pipefitters. Each unit of measure is a single nipple, and this SKU ships in a package quantity of 5 pieces, making it a practical stocking choice for service trucks and supply rooms.

This nipple is suited for water supply lines, gas distribution piping, and general-purpose plumbing applications where a threaded 1-inch connection is required. The 6-inch length bridges moderate gaps between fittings or transition points in a run. Typical install scenarios include connecting gate valves, couplings, tees, and unions in both above-ground and in-wall piping configurations. It is a common component in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility plumbing throughout residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply before working on any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or crack cast components downstream.
