B K/mueller Inds 561-015HN Galvanized Nipple 1/4x1-1/2 in

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 561-015HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch diameter by 1-1/2 inches in length. Galvanized nipples provide a zinc-coated barrier against corrosion, making them a dependable choice for threaded pipe assemblies in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. This nipple ships in a package of 10 units, making it well suited for jobs that require multiple fittings at once. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters routinely stock short nipples like this one to complete close-coupled connections in tight spaces.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping applications where a short, threaded male-to-male fitting is required. Typical uses include connecting valves, unions, tees, and elbows in pressurized water or gas lines. The 1/4 inch thread size suits smaller branch lines and instrument connections. The 1-1/2 inch overall length accommodates close-quarters installations where a longer nipple would not fit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before beginning any threaded pipe work. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as excessive force can crack fittings or damage threads.
