It is threaded on both ends with 1-1\/4-inch NPT threads, allowing direct connection between two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this nipple in gas, water, and general-purpose piping systems where a short, rigid connection is required between components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including domestic water distribution, natural gas branch lines, and steam or compressed-air piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness meets code requirements. Its 1-1\/4-inch nominal size fits standard fittings, unions, valves, and manifolds of the same nominal diameter. The galvanized finish makes it a common choice in damp mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, and exposed utility areas where bare steel would corrode prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure and structural requirements for most residential and commercial pipe applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or high-humidity environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends with 1-1\/4-inch NPT threads for direct connection to standard fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-inch length provides a short, rigid extension between fittings without requiring a union or additional coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 2.8 pounds, consistent with full Schedule 40 wall stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style drop-in replacement and standard stock nipple compatible with 1-1\/4-inch NPT female-threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and equipment ports in Schedule 40 piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns for the fitting material  -  do not overtighten steel-to-brass connections. Inspect the galvanized coating for damage after installation to confirm corrosion protection is intact at all joint areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 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: 1-1\/4 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.8 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: 566-050HC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K MUELLER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67913065824562,"sku":"566-050HC","price":18.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4d536106861763e10853dadb54da4866.jpg?v=1791242185","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-mueller-566-050hc-galvanized-pipe-nipple-1-1-4-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
