Bmi Usa 10007 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5x5.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10007 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in gas, water, and general plumbing piping systems. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in length, this nipple provides a rigid, threaded connection between fittings, valves, and pipe sections. The black finish is standard for gas distribution applications and indicates an uncoated steel construction suited for dry or controlled environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in and repair work on both new construction and retrofit projects.

This nipple is a practical solution for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems. Its 2.5-inch diameter makes it appropriate for main-line and branch connections where higher flow capacity is needed. The steel construction handles the mechanical stress of threaded assembly and the internal pressures common to gas and water distribution lines. Installers will find this nipple useful wherever a short, fixed-length threaded run is required between two female-threaded components.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suited for gas distribution and general piping applications
• 2.5-inch diameter supports main-line and larger branch connections
• 5.5-inch length provides a defined, rigid run between threaded fittings
• Threaded ends allow direct assembly with standard female-threaded fittings and valves
• Uncoated black finish is compatible with pipe dope and PTFE tape thread sealing methods

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for residential and commercial threaded steel pipe systems requiring a 2.5-inch diameter nipple at 5.5 inches in length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where relevant. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant to all male threads before assembly and inspect for leaks after restoring pressure. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
