B K/mueller Inds 568-025HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 568-025HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other components within a piping system. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. This nipple is a standard trade component installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water supply, gas distribution, or general industrial piping systems where threaded steel connections are required.

This galvanized nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical applications. It is typically used to make close or short-run threaded connections between two female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections. The 2-inch nominal thread size is common in main supply lines, boiler piping, and mechanical room installations. Sold in a package quantity of 5 units, making it practical for service vans or supply stock.
