B K/mueller Inds(import) 567-055HC Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 567-055HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in water, gas, and general-purpose plumbing systems. Measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in length, it is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in both exposed and concealed installations. This nipple ships in a package quantity of 5 units. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in work and system repairs where a short, close-coupled threaded connection is required.

Galvanized pipe nipples of this size are used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical systems. The 1.5-inch diameter is common in branch lines, riser connections, and manifold assemblies. This nipple is suited for installations where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are required in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
