Bmi Usa 10009 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5x7 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10009 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 7 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe segments used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in gas, water, and mechanical systems. This nipple features a black finish, which is standard for gas piping applications, and is constructed from steel for durability under pressure and heat. Licensed plumbers, gas fitters, and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of rough-in and retrofit work across residential and light commercial systems.

This black steel pipe nipple is suited for use in natural gas, propane, and general-purpose black iron piping systems. Common applications include gas line assemblies for furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and commercial cooking equipment. The 7-inch length makes it useful for bridging fitting-to-fitting gaps in tight mechanical rooms or utility chases where standard close or short nipples fall short. It is threaded on both ends per standard NPT practice and ready to install into existing black iron configurations.

Key Features

• Black finish suitable for gas piping and general black iron applications
• Steel construction for strength and heat resistance
• 7-inch body length provides flexibility in fitting spacing
• 2.5-inch nominal diameter for high-flow gas or fluid lines
• Threaded both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black iron pipe nipple for use in residential and commercial gas and mechanical piping systems where 2.5-inch black steel fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel 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 zero pressure before disconnecting or assembling any gas piping components. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded joints. Inspect all connections for leaks using an approved leak detection solution before returning the system to service.
