B K Mueller 567-040HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1.5x4 in 5 Pack

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 567-040HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial systems. Measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple ships in a package of five units. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these nipples in both new construction and retrofit applications where a short, rigid threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or fixtures.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping systems. Typical uses include connecting gate valves, ball valves, unions, and pipe couplings in water supply and drainage rough-in work. The 1.5-inch diameter is a common size in main supply runs and branch connections for fixtures such as utility sinks, washing machines, and boiler piping. Each package contains five nipples, making it practical for contractors completing multiple connections on a single job.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before making or breaking 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.
