B K Mueller 586-060HN Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1-1/4x6 in

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 586-060HN is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, water, and mechanical piping systems. This close-coupled fitting measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, making it a common choice for short-run connections in residential and light commercial installations. Black steel nipples of this type are a standard component in gas distribution piping, fire suppression rough-in, and industrial fluid lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of threaded black iron piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial gas piping, steam heating systems, and general industrial plumbing applications where threaded black steel fittings are specified. The 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size accommodates moderate flow volumes, and the 6-inch length covers short offsets and extension runs between valves, tees, and couplings. It ships in a package quantity of 5 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable code requirements such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and verify isolation of the gas or fluid supply before disassembling or extending any piping run. Apply an approved thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded joints. Inspect all connections for leaks after restoring pressure.
