B K/mueller Inds(import) 563-035HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 563-035HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1/2 inch nominal pipe size by 3-1/2 inches in length. This close-cut threaded fitting is used to connect two female-threaded pipe fittings, valves, or equipment ports in gas, water, or general plumbing distribution systems. The zinc galvanizing provides corrosion resistance suited to both exposed and concealed installations. Sold in a package of 10 units, this nipple is a standard consumable stocked by plumbing contractors, pipefitters, and mechanical trades for rough-in and service work.

Galvanized pipe nipples of this size are common in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, gas distribution piping, and industrial utility lines. The 1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch dimension is a frequently specified close nipple length used where a short, rigid threaded connection is needed between components. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these fittings during new construction, renovation, and maintenance work across a wide range of mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a proper pressure-rated seal without over-torquing. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or replacing any threaded nipple in an active system.
