B K/mueller Inds(import) 585-060HN Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 585-060HN is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in a piping system. This nipple features male threads on both ends and is manufactured from black steel, making it suitable for gas, air, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly install this type of fitting during system assembly and repair work.

This black pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a short, rigid connection between two female-threaded fittings or components is required. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, propane supply piping, compressed air systems, and fire sprinkler supply lines. The 1-inch diameter and 6-inch length make it a standard close-range connector in both new construction and retrofit installations. It is sold in a package quantity of 5 units.
