It is threaded on both ends to NPT standards, allowing direct connection to fittings, valves, or other pipe segments without additional machining. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments. This nipple is a standard component in low-pressure gas, water distribution, and general plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install it during rough-in and service work across residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is suited for use in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, natural gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and general fluid conveyance systems where Schedule 40 galvanized steel is specified. Its 1\/4-inch nominal size makes it a common choice for branch lines, instrument connections, and pilot gas supply runs. It is typically installed where corrosion resistance and moderate pressure capacity are both required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch nominal pipe size with 10-inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct fitting-to-fitting installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard NPT fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems using 1\/4-inch NPT threaded fittings and valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off supply pressure and verify the line is depressurized before removing or installing any nipple. Apply a listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup, and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench turns as appropriate for the fitting material. Do not over-torque connections on brass or plastic fittings mated to this steel nipple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BK MUELLER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 561-100HC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K MUELLER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67909627019570,"sku":"561-100HC","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a029fa263c8568f2a09331cf041f4dbd.jpg?v=1791189347","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-mueller-561-100hc-galvanized-pipe-nipple-1-4-in-10-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
