Bk Mueller 568-035HC Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The BK MUELLER 568-035HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends for straightforward installation into standard NPT fittings. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor service. At 2.1 pounds, it is a solid, full-weight fitting built to handle typical water, air, and gas distribution pressures found in commercial and residential systems.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, compressed air distribution, gas piping, and general mechanical systems where a short close-to-shoulder threaded connector is required. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for residential and light commercial work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting as part of branch connections, valve drops, riser assemblies, and manifold builds where a 2-inch threaded interface is needed.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure service in water, air, and gas lines
• Threaded on both ends with 2-inch NPT threads for compatibility with standard fittings and valves
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments
• 3.5-inch length suits close-nipple and short-extension piping configurations
• Full 2.1-pound steel construction meets dimensional standards for NPT threaded pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2-inch NPT threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten, as excessive torque can crack fittings or damage threads.
