B K Mueller 568-100HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2x10 5 Pack

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 568-100HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter by 10 inches in length, sold in a package of 5 pieces. Galvanized nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components in water supply, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for installations in wet, outdoor, or moderately corrosive environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these nipples as standard close or long fittings in both residential and commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, irrigation systems, compressed air lines, and industrial process piping where a 2-inch threaded connection and a 10-inch run length are required. The galvanized finish makes it a common choice for outdoor and exposed interior installations where bare steel would corrode. It is appropriate for both new construction and repair or retrofit work on existing threaded pipe systems.

Key Features

• 2-inch diameter by 10-inch length for standard threaded pipe connections
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Sold in a package of 5 for multi-connection or bulk service work
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves
• Suitable for water supply, compressed air, and industrial piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service galvanized nipple for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe section. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before assembly and tighten to snug fit using a pipe wrench — do not overtighten galvanized fittings as this can crack the zinc coating at the threads. Inspect the galvanized coating on cut or damaged thread ends and treat as needed to maintain corrosion protection.
