Bk Mueller 583-110HC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 40 1/2 in X 11 in

Product Description

The BK MUELLER 583-110HC is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, air, and liquid distribution systems. Measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 11 inches in length, it is machined with 1/2-inch NPT threads on both ends and finished with a standard black coating. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in both residential and light commercial applications where a close-coupled, short-run pipe connection is required between fittings, valves, or equipment ports.

Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipples are a standard component in natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, compressed air systems, and industrial fluid piping. The 11-inch length suits installations where close or shoulder nipples fall short and a hex nipple is too short, giving the installer enough thread engagement on both ends with exposed pipe in between. This part is sold individually and ships as a single-piece unit.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• 1/2-inch NPT threads on both ends for standard pipe fitting connections
• Black finish coating - appropriate for gas line and non-potable water applications
• Steel construction for durability in threaded pipe assemblies
• 11-inch length fills mid-range spacing requirements between fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting compatible with 1/2-inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping assemblies. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium - do not use standard thread tape on gas lines unless the product is specifically gas-rated. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to achieve full thread engagement without over-stressing the fitting.
