Bmi Usa 10013 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5x11 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 10013 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 11 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to join fittings, valves, and equipment in piping systems. This nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish, making it well suited for gas distribution, steam, and other non-corrosive fluid applications in commercial and residential settings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly use nipples of this type when assembling or extending pipe runs on the job site.

This nipple is appropriate for use in gas piping, steam systems, and general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies. The black finish is standard for natural gas and propane distribution lines in both residential and light commercial construction. It fits into standard threaded piping systems alongside compatible black iron fittings, couplings, elbows, and tees. Contractors working on boiler connections, furnace gas trains, or similar mechanical systems will find this a common off-the-shelf replacement or new-construction component.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and International Plumbing Code (IPC) where gas or steam service is involved. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the piping section completely before making any connections or disconnections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the intended service before threading the nipple into fittings. Inspect all connections for leaks before returning the system to service.
