Description
The B K Mueller Industries 567-030HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1.5 inches outside diameter by 3 inches in length. It is a short, threaded pipe fitting used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections within a plumbing or mechanical piping system. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple during new construction, system modification, and repair work where standard NPT-threaded steel pipe is specified.
This galvanized nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, water distribution lines, natural gas and propane supply piping, and industrial fluid-handling assemblies where threaded steel pipe is the specified material. Its 3-inch body length makes it suitable for close-quarter connections and offset runs where a standard or long nipple would not fit. It ships in a package of 5 units, making it practical for job-site stock or service van inventory.
Key Features
- Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and damp service environments
- Standard NPT threading on both ends for compatibility with common fittings and valves
- 3-inch body length suited to short-run and close-quarter pipe connections
- 1.5-inch nominal pipe size fits standard Schedule 40 plumbing configurations
- Sold in a 5-unit package for efficient job-site replenishment
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for NPT-threaded steel piping systems using 1.5-inch nominal pipe size components.
Installation Notes
Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Tighten to snug plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench; do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads. Work on gas piping must comply with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements.
