B K Mueller 565-120HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1x12 Inch

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 565-120HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1 inch nominal diameter by 12 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded pipe components. This nipple is galvanized for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for water supply, light gas, and general plumbing distribution systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during new construction or repair work on threaded iron pipe systems. Each order contains a package of 5 nipples.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where threaded galvanized iron pipe is the standard of construction. Common applications include water supply branch connections, boiler room piping, and general utility plumbing. The 1-inch diameter and 12-inch length make it well suited for close-quarter connections and short runs between fittings in a threaded pipe assembly.
