B K/mueller Inds(import) 568-080HN Galvanized Nipple 2x8

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 568-080HN is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter by 8 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or equipment ports within a piping system. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to water supply, general plumbing, and light industrial applications. This part is sold in a package of 2 units. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on residential or commercial piping systems.

This galvanized nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, gas distribution piping where galvanized steel is permitted by local code, and general-purpose threaded piping assemblies. The 2-inch diameter makes it a common size in main distribution lines, boiler connections, and commercial plumbing rough-in work. It is appropriate for above-ground installations where threaded steel pipe is specified.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and damp environments
• 2 inches diameter by 8 inches length for direct integration into standard threaded piping systems
• Male NPT threads on both ends for connection to standard pipe fittings and valves
• Sold in a package of 2 units
• Suitable for water supply and general-purpose threaded steel piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 2-inch NPT threaded steel piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten connections using a pipe wrench to avoid thread damage or leaks. Do not use galvanized steel nipples in applications where local code prohibits their use, such as certain gas service or corrosive fluid systems.
