B K/mueller Inds(import) 585-120HN Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 585-120HN is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run of pipe. This nipple is finished in black, which is standard for natural gas, propane, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, system extensions, and repair work where a rigid, threaded connection is required.

Black steel pipe nipples are commonly used in residential and light commercial gas distribution systems, fire suppression supply lines, and industrial fluid handling applications. The 1-inch diameter and 12-inch length make this nipple suited for mainline branch connections where a longer offset is needed between fittings or equipment. It is compatible with standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves of the same diameter.

Key Features

• 1 inch diameter with 12 inch body length for extended reach between fittings
• Black finish suitable for gas, steam, and industrial fluid service
• Threaded ends designed for standard NPT connections
• Sold in a package quantity of 5 units per pack

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for 1-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and industrial plumbing installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type to all male threads before assembly. Do not use pipe dope formulations that are incompatible with gas service when installing in gas distribution systems.
