Bk Mueller 564-070HC Pipe Nipple 3/4 in 7 in Schedule 40

Product Description

The BK MUELLER 564-070HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch nominal diameter and 7 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Both ends are threaded to NPT standards, allowing direct connection to fittings, valves, couplings, and other threaded pipe components. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. Weighing approximately 3 pounds, this nipple is a standard stock component for rough-in work and system extensions.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where threaded steel pipe assemblies are specified. Common applications include water supply lines, natural gas and LP distribution piping, compressed air systems, and fire suppression rough-in. The 3/4 inch diameter and 7 inch length make it well-suited for short-run connections between valves, tees, elbows, and other Schedule 40 fittings in both above-ground and exposed installations.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded steel pipe nipples is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
