B K/mueller Inds(import) 562-060HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 562-060HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other threaded components in a piping system. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during new construction and repair work on threaded pipe systems.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping systems where a short close or standard-length threaded connector is required. It is commonly installed between two female-threaded fittings, valves, or flanges to complete a run or offset in a threaded pipe assembly. The 3/8 inch diameter makes it appropriate for branch lines and low-flow service connections. This part is sold and packaged in quantities of 5 units per pack.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
