B K/mueller Inds(import) 560-035HC Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 560-035HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1/8 inch in diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors used to join two female-threaded fittings or to extend a threaded pipe run. The galvanized finish provides a zinc coating that resists corrosion in exposed or moderately wet environments. This nipple is a standard component used by plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians when assembling or repairing threaded pipe systems. Sold in a package of 10, it suits shops and service trucks that handle frequent small-diameter pipe work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas supply lines, and mechanical piping applications where 1/8-inch NPT threaded connections are required. Its compact length makes it appropriate for close-quarters connections where a longer nipple would not fit. Typical installations include gas appliance supply stubs, water supply branch lines, air line assemblies, and instrument tapping points. The package quantity of 10 units makes it practical for contractors who routinely service or install systems requiring multiple small-diameter fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or gas technicians following applicable local codes, IPC, or IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack female fittings or distort threads.
