B K Mueller 568-030HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2x3 in

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 568-030HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or threaded pipe ends within a plumbing, HVAC, or light industrial piping system. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping applications. This nipple ships in a package of 5 units, making it practical for service calls, rough-in work, or small project runs.

This nipple fits standard threaded piping systems found in residential and commercial construction. It is used in water supply lines, compressed air systems, and gas piping where a short close or shoulder connection is needed between components. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when transitioning between threaded valves, unions, elbows, or tees on 2-inch pipe runs.
