B K Mueller 586-025HC Black Pipe Nipple 1.25x2.5in

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 586-025HC is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1.25 inches by 2.5 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping assembly. This nipple is finished in black, indicating a standard carbon steel construction without galvanization, which is common in gas distribution lines, steam systems, and general industrial piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these fittings in both residential and commercial settings as standard joining components in threaded pipe systems.

This nipple is suited for use in gas supply lines, steam piping, and other applications where black steel is the specified material. The 1.25-inch diameter and 2.5-inch length make it a close nipple option used in tight-clearance installations or short-run connections between valves, tees, and other threaded components. It is sold in a package quantity of five units, supporting multi-point installations or service stock replenishment.
