B K/mueller Inds 563-050HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/2x5

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 563-050HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors used to join sections of pipe or to connect pipe to fittings, valves, and other components in a piping system. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both new construction and repair work.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial pipe runs where threaded steel connections are required. It is well suited for water distribution lines, compressed air systems, and gas supply piping where corrosion resistance and durability are priorities. The 1/2-inch thread size is one of the most common sizes found in residential and light commercial systems. This SKU is sold in a package quantity of 15, making it practical for contractors stocking multiple fittings for a job site.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded pipe nipples is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas applications. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
