Bmi Usa 10011 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5x9 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10011 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded fittings used to connect two female-threaded pipe fittings, valves, or equipment ports. This nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish, making it well suited for gas distribution piping, steam lines, and industrial fluid systems. At 3.94 pounds, it is a solid, full-weight fitting appropriate for demanding trade applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This black pipe nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where threaded steel pipe connections are required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies. The black finish is standard for gas service piping in many jurisdictions and distinguishes these fittings from galvanized water service pipe.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability in gas, steam, and fluid piping systems
• Black finish standard for natural gas and propane service applications
• 9-inch length provides extended reach between fittings or equipment ports
• 2.5-inch diameter accommodates high-flow or larger-bore piping runs
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard female-threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard threaded black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and fluid piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, and IPC guidelines for fluid systems. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections. Never over-tighten threaded steel fittings, as this can crack female fittings or damage threads.
