B K/mueller Inds 580-025HC Black Pipe Nipple 1/8x2.5in

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 580-025HC is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or threaded ports in a piping assembly. This nipple is black iron, the standard material for natural gas and propane distribution lines in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas line installers use nipples like this to extend runs, make offsets, or complete close connections where a longer pipe section is not practical.

This 1/8-inch nipple is sized for small-diameter service lines, instrument connections, pilot gas lines, and branch takeoffs in low-pressure gas or steam piping systems. It is packaged in a quantity of 10 units per package, making it well suited for service contractors and plumbing shops that maintain stock of common fitting sizes. Black iron fittings are not suitable for potable water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service is involved. Shut off and bleed the gas or steam supply before disassembling or assembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded joints. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not force cross-threaded connections.
