B K/mueller Inds(import) 566-020HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 566-020HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping system. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, general plumbing, and light industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these as standard components in both new construction and repair work. This part ships in a package quantity of 5.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where threaded iron or steel pipe assemblies are required. Common applications include water distribution lines, gas piping where local codes permit galvanized fittings, and industrial process piping. The 1-1/4-inch diameter is a standard size frequently found in supply mains, branch connections, and equipment hookups across a wide range of installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local adopted standards. Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
