Bmi Usa 10006 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5x5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10006 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe fittings in plumbing, gas, and HVAC piping systems. At 2.5 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, this close-tolerance nipple provides a rigid, threaded connection point between valves, fittings, tees, elbows, or other piping components. Constructed from steel with a black finish, it is suited for dry, non-potable, and gas-line applications where galvanized or brass fittings are not required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This nipple is a standard fitting used in residential and light commercial piping runs. Common applications include natural gas and propane supply lines, black iron piping systems, and non-potable water distribution. The 2.5-inch diameter and 5-inch body length make it appropriate for medium-capacity branch connections or short-run extensions within a threaded black iron system.

Key Features

• Black steel construction resists corrosion in dry and gas-service environments
• 2.5-inch nominal pipe size for medium-flow threaded connections
• 5-inch body length for short-run and extension applications
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings
• Weighs 2 pounds for a solid, heavy-duty fit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black iron pipe nipple compatible with 2.5-inch threaded fittings including couplings, elbows, tees, valves, and flanges in black iron piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes including the IPC and IFGC. Always shut off gas or water supply and verify zero pressure before removing or installing pipe nipples. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not overtighten, as steel threads can crack cast fittings.
