B K/mueller Inds(import) 585-050HN Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 585-050HN is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter and 5 inches in length. Black pipe nipples are threaded fittings used to connect sections of pipe in gas distribution, steam, and industrial piping systems. This nipple ships in a package of 5 units. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians use black pipe nipples as standard close or short extensions at valves, fittings, and equipment connections. The black iron finish is the standard choice for natural gas and propane service piping.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam systems, and general black iron piping assemblies. The 1-inch diameter and 5-inch body length make it a common short-extension fitting at appliance connections, tee fittings, union joints, and shutoff valve installations. It arrives ready to thread into standard NPT fittings without additional modification.

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) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly.
