B K/mueller Inds(import) 568-050HN Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 568-050HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter by 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems.

This galvanized nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial pipe runs where a short threaded male-to-male connection is required. The 2-inch nominal pipe size makes it appropriate for main supply lines, branch connections, and equipment connections where moderate flow capacity is needed. Sold in a package quantity of 3, it is practical for service calls and small installations alike.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal diameter by 5-inch length — a standard close-to-short nipple size for tight runs
• Galvanized steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet and moderately corrosive environments
• Both ends feature standard tapered male pipe threads (NPT) for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves
• Packaged in a quantity of 3 per unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and general industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Comply with local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas-service applications.
