Bmi Usa 10001 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5 in Close

Product Description

The BMI USA 10001 is a close-pattern black steel pipe nipple sized at 2.5 inches. A pipe nipple is a short length of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components. This nipple features a close pattern, meaning the threaded ends meet with minimal unthreaded body between them, making it suitable for tight-clearance installations. The black finish indicates a standard black-iron steel construction commonly used in gas distribution, compressed air, and general plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is appropriate for use in gas piping systems, steam lines, compressed air distribution, and other applications where black iron or steel fittings are required or specified. The close pattern is frequently used where space between components is restricted and a standard-length nipple would not fit. It is a common component in residential gas line rough-ins and commercial mechanical rooms alike.

Key Features

• Close-pattern threading allows installation in tight-clearance piping configurations
• Black steel construction suitable for gas, air, and general industrial piping
• 2.5-inch nominal pipe size for larger-diameter distribution runs
• Standard threaded ends for compatibility with NPT fittings and valves
• Durable steel material rated for typical gas and mechanical system pressures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for black iron piping systems using 2.5-inch nominal NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of pipe nipples in gas systems must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and verify gas or system pressure is fully depressurized before disassembling or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or distort threads.
