B K Mueller 568-035HC Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2x3.5 in 5pk

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 568-035HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches in diameter by 3.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in a piping system. This nipple is galvanized to resist corrosion in wet or outdoor environments. It is a standard trade-supply component installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water distribution, gas, or general-purpose piping assemblies. The package contains 5 units, making it suitable for jobs requiring multiple connections. Threaded ends conform to standard NPT dimensions for compatibility with common fittings.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where corrosion resistance and a secure threaded connection are required. Typical installations include water supply lines, drainage venting, gas distribution headers, and industrial pipe runs. The 2-inch diameter suits main branch and trunk-line work where high flow capacity is needed. Installers often use these nipples when making up close-coupled connections between valves, unions, tees, and elbows in both new construction and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
