B K/mueller Inds(import) 583-060HN Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 583-060HN is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other pipe components in a piping assembly. This nipple is finished in black, indicating a standard black iron construction suited for gas, air, and general industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly use black pipe nipples when assembling or extending low-pressure gas lines, compressed air systems, and similar applications.

This nipple is a common component in residential and light commercial gas piping systems, including natural gas and propane distribution lines feeding furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and other gas-fired appliances. It is also used in compressed air distribution, fire suppression systems, and industrial fluid handling where black iron pipe is the specified material. Installers pick this size when a short, rigid 0.5-inch close connection is required between two threaded components.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch nominal diameter with 6-inch body length for close threaded connections
• Black iron finish suited for gas and air service piping
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded fitting connections
• Sold in packages of 15 units, suitable for stocking or multi-point installations
• Compact rigid section reduces the need for additional couplings in tight runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black iron pipe nipple compatible with 0.5-inch threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings used in residential and commercial gas, air, and general-purpose piping systems.

Installation Notes

Black pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC and IPC. Always shut off the gas supply or depressurize the system before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; hand-tight plus wrench turns per fitting manufacturer guidance is standard practice.
