Bmi Usa 10008 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5x6 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10008 is a black steel pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in piping systems. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple provides a durable, corrosion-resistant link between fittings, valves, and other threaded components. The black finish is standard for gas distribution and certain industrial piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where a short, rigid threaded section is required.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where black steel fittings are specified. Common applications include natural gas and propane distribution lines, as well as steam and hydronic heating systems. It threads directly into standard fittings, valves, and manifolds that accept compatible NPT connections. Installers working on gas appliance hookups and boiler piping will encounter this size frequently in the field.

Key Features

• Black steel construction provides strength and durability in gas and hydronic piping applications
• 6-inch length offers a practical standoff distance between threaded fittings
• 2.5-inch diameter matches standard pipe sizing for residential and light commercial systems
• Black finish is compatible with standard black iron fittings and valves
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to NPT-compatible components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring black steel threaded pipe nipples in 2.5-inch diameter.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working under applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply line completely before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading connections. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, and inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
