Bmi Usa 10005 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5x4.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10005 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. This close-tolerance threaded nipple provides a rigid, reliable connection between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. At 4.5 inches in length and 2.5 inches in diameter, it fits standard pipe configurations common in residential and commercial installations. The black steel construction makes it suitable for gas piping applications where galvanized fittings are not permitted by code. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of threaded pipe assemblies.

This nipple is used in gas supply lines, steam systems, water distribution, and industrial piping wherever a threaded steel nipple of this size is required. It is a common component in both new construction rough-in work and repair or retrofit applications. The black finish is standard for natural gas and propane distribution lines in residential and light commercial settings, and the part meets typical dimensional standards for schedule 40 pipe nipples.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas and steam piping applications
• 4.5-inch length fits standard pipe runs and offset configurations

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples in gas systems must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure before disassembling any existing piping. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all male threads before assembly. Do not use this nipple in potable water systems without verifying local code acceptance of black steel pipe for that application.
