B K/mueller Inds(import) 585-020HN Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 585-020HN is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1 inch nominal diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or threaded pipe ends in a piping assembly. This nipple features male NPT threads on both ends and is finished in black, which is standard for non-galvanized steel pipe used in gas and certain fluid piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, repairs, and system extensions. Packaged in quantities of 10 per unit, it is well suited for jobs requiring multiple connections.

This black pipe nipple is used in residential and light commercial gas piping, fire suppression systems, and general fluid distribution applications where galvanized or copper fittings are not specified. The 2-inch length makes it a close nipple option appropriate for tight-clearance assemblies, manifold builds, and appliance connections where a short threaded extension is needed between components.

Key Features

• 1 inch nominal diameter with 2 inch overall length
• Black steel finish suitable for gas piping applications
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded connections
• Packaged 10 pieces per unit for multi-connection jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1 inch NPT threaded pipe, valves, and fittings in black steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping. Always shut off the gas or fluid supply and verify the system is depressurized before making or breaking threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
