B K/mueller Inds(import) 565-020HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 565-020HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping assemblies where a short threaded extension is required between components.

This galvanized nipple is suited for residential and commercial applications including water distribution lines, gas piping headers, and mechanical room installations. The 1-inch nominal pipe size is common in branch lines and equipment connections. It ships in a package quantity of 10, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple fittings of the same size. Installers working on potable water systems should verify local code approval for galvanized pipe in their jurisdiction prior to installation.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 1-inch nominal diameter x 2-inch length for short-run connections between fittings and valves
• Threaded ends for standard NPT fitting engagement
• Sold in a package of 10 units for multi-fitting job requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded galvanized pipe nipple for use with compatible 1-inch threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in plumbing, gas, and HVAC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Follow applicable local plumbing codes, IPC, or IFGC requirements for the specific piping application.
