B K/mueller Inds(import) 563-020HN Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 563-020HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1/2 inch in diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors used to join sections of pipe or to connect pipe to fittings, valves, and equipment. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. This part is handled and installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water supply, gas, or mechanical systems requiring standard threaded iron pipe connections.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping applications where a short threaded male connector is required. The 1/2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves commonly found throughout supply and distribution systems. Sold in a package quantity of 15 units, making it practical for contractors stocking common fitting sizes.

Installation Notes

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