B K/mueller Inds 562-015HC Galvanized Nipple 3/8x1-1/2 in

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 562-015HC is a galvanized steel close nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Measuring 3/8 inch nominal pipe size at a length of 1-1/2 inches, this nipple ships in a package of 10 units. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, compressed air, and similar piping applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on threaded iron pipe systems.

This nipple is suited for use in residential water supply lines, commercial gas distribution piping, and light industrial mechanical systems where 3/8-inch threaded connections are required. The 1-1/2-inch length fits tight-clearance installations where a standard or long nipple would not seat correctly. The package quantity of 10 makes it practical for service trucks and job-site stock where multiple connections are needed in a single work order.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads on mating components.
