Description
The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 564-020HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 3/4 inch nominal diameter by 2 inches in length. Galvanized nipples serve as short threaded connectors between pipe fittings, valves, and other threaded components in water supply, HVAC, and general plumbing systems. The zinc galvanizing provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or moderately corrosive environments. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on new construction or repair applications where a reliable, standard-duty threaded connection is required.
This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, gas distribution, and industrial piping applications where galvanized steel is the specified material. It connects threaded pipe runs, closes off short offsets, and provides the necessary extension between fittings. Sold in packages of 10, it is appropriate for contractors stocking common fittings for routine service and installation work.

Installation Notes
Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded pipe components.
