B K/mueller Inds(import) 588-035HC Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 588-035HC is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter by 3.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping assembly. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, making it suitable for gas distribution, steam, and general industrial piping applications where an uncoated steel fitting is required. It is a standard trade fitting installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians in both residential and commercial systems.

This nipple is commonly used in natural gas supply lines, propane distribution systems, steam piping, and industrial fluid transfer applications. The black steel construction is the standard choice for gas piping per IFGC requirements, where galvanized fittings are not permitted in certain configurations. It fits into threaded pipe assemblies using standard NPT connections and is a routine stock item in mechanical and plumbing rough-in work. This SKU is packaged in quantities of 5 units per package.
