Bk Mueller 568-110HC Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The BK MUELLER 568-110HC is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial applications. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 2 inches in nominal pipe size and 11 inches in length. Both ends are threaded for standard NPT connections, allowing direct installation into fittings, valves, or manifolds without additional preparation. At 4.6 pounds, it offers the solid construction expected for pressure-rated piping runs. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, air, and compatible gas service lines.

This nipple is a standard component in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. It is commonly used to extend pipe runs, connect valves to mains, build header assemblies, or close out threaded fittings on distribution lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in water supply, compressed air, and low-pressure gas systems where Schedule 40 wall strength and galvanized protection are specified.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for pressure-rated service
• 2-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 11-inch length for mid-range extension connections
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation component for threaded Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems using 2-inch NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system before threading or removing any pipe connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
