Bk Mueller 567-080HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in 8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The BK MUELLER 567-080HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial applications. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in nominal pipe size and 8 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple features NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections. Hot-dip galvanization provides a zinc coating that resists corrosion in wet and moderately corrosive environments. At 4 pounds, the part is sized for straightforward field installation without special handling. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on Schedule 40 nipples like this one for both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, natural gas and propane distribution lines, steam and condensate systems, fire protection piping, and general industrial supply lines. It is appropriate wherever a 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded connection is required and the system calls for galvanized steel rather than black iron or copper. The 8-inch length fills medium close-nipple gaps between fittings, valves, and equipment connections without requiring a cut-and-thread operation in the field.

Key Features

• 1-1/2-inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• 8-inch overall length suits mid-range spacing between fittings
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard working pressures
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet environments
• Threaded-both-ends design installs with standard pipe wrenches and threading tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for any 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded piping system requiring Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off water supply or gas flow and depressurize the line before removing or installing nipples. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before hand-tightening, then wrench-tighten to a secure fit without over-torquing the fitting. Inspect the connection for leaks after restoring system pressure.
