Bmi Usa 10004 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5x4 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10004 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, water, and general-purpose plumbing systems. At 2.5 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, it fits standard threaded fittings and provides a reliable, rigid connection between pipes or between a pipe and a fitting. The black finish indicates an uncoated steel construction, which is the standard for gas distribution lines in residential and light commercial applications. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this type of nipple as part of rough-in and service work.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a short, threaded steel connector is required. Common applications include natural gas and propane distribution lines, as well as general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies. The 4-inch length makes it a practical close-to-standard nipple for situations where a close nipple is too short and a longer extension is unnecessary.

Key Features

• Black steel construction standard for gas line applications
• 2.5-inch nominal diameter with 4-inch length
• Threaded ends for connection to standard black iron fittings
• Rigid steel body rated for gas and liquid piping service
• Weighs 1.53 pounds for a solid, durable build

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard black iron threaded pipe and fittings in 2.5-inch nominal pipe size applications including gas distribution and general plumbing assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation of black iron pipe nipples on gas lines must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify pressure is relieved before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads and compromise the seal.
