It measures 2.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length, making it a close nipple suitable for tight-run installations. The black finish is produced through a hot-oil or mill scale process standard for carbon steel pipe fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting when joining threaded black iron pipe assemblies, particularly in gas distribution lines and industrial piping runs where a galvanized finish is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial gas piping, compressed air lines, and general-purpose black iron pipe systems. It threads directly into standard NPT fittings, valves, tees, elbows, and couplings. The short 3-inch body makes it well suited for close-quarter connections where a standard-length nipple would not fit. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters typically source this fitting for rough-in and service work on natural gas and propane supply lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction resists corrosion in dry gas and air service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch nominal pipe size threads to standard NPT fittings without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch body length suits tight-clearance installations in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill-scale black finish is standard for gas line fittings where galvanizing is not specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 1.11 pounds, consistent with schedule 40 wall thickness for this pipe size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded black steel pipe nipple for use with 2.5-inch nominal pipe size fittings, valves, and couplings in gas, air, and general-purpose black iron piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, or IPC requirements for general plumbing. Shut off the gas or air supply and verify zero pressure before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to avoid stressing downstream connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701100024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMI USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344627794226,"sku":"10002","price":20.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553726.jpg?v=1782038378","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-10002-black-steel-pipe-nipple-2-5x3-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
