B K Mueller 567-120HN Galvanized Nipple 1.5x12in 5 Pack

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 567-120HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded pipe components in a run. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. This SKU ships in a package of 5 units. Plumbers and pipefitters install these nipples in commercial and residential systems where a male-threaded pipe extension is required between fittings.

Galvanized pipe nipples of this size are commonly used in water supply lines, sprinkler risers, compressed air distribution, and light-duty gas piping where local codes permit. The 12-inch length makes this a close-run nipple suitable for situations requiring a fixed standoff between two threaded components. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in both new construction and retrofit work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded galvanized nipple compatible with 1.5-inch threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before installing or removing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; follow standard trade practice for the pipe size and material being joined.
