B K/mueller Inds(import) 565-040HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 565-040HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in fluid-carrying systems. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, irrigation, and general plumbing distribution lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications. This SKU is sold in a package of 10 pieces, making it practical for projects requiring multiple connections.

This galvanized nipple is used in potable water supply lines, industrial pipe assemblies, fire protection systems, and gas distribution piping where code and local authority permit galvanized steel. It is appropriate for above-ground and indoor installations. Typical scenarios include manifold assemblies, riser connections, and equipment hookups in mechanical rooms or utility areas. Plumbers and pipefitters working to IPC or IFGC standards will find this a standard close-nipple substitute for extending run lengths between fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate 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.
