B K/mueller Inds(import) 566-100HN Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 566-100HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection between fittings, valves, and other pipe components. The hot-dip galvanized coating protects against rust and corrosion in both above-ground and exposed indoor installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple when assembling or extending threaded iron pipe systems in residential and light commercial applications.

This galvanized nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, heating, and gas piping systems where threaded steel connections are specified. Its 1-1/4-inch diameter makes it appropriate for main distribution lines, branch feeds, and riser applications. Supplied in a package quantity of 5, this nipple is well suited for contractors completing multiple connections or rough-in work on a single job. Install per applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns per fitting type. Verify all connections for leaks before returning the system to service, and ensure installation complies with local plumbing and mechanical codes.
