Bmi Usa 10014 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5x12 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10014 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across a wide range of plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple provides a rigid, reliable connection between fittings, valves, and other threaded components. The black finish is standard for gas-line applications and distinguishes this nipple from galvanized water-service pipe. At 5.39 pounds, the 10014 is solid steel construction built to handle the demands of commercial and residential mechanical installations.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping work where a 2.5-inch threaded connection is required. Common applications include gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and general mechanical piping. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas-line technicians typically specify black steel nipples for natural gas and propane supply runs where galvanized fittings are not recommended. The 12-inch length makes it useful for extending runs between fittings or clearing obstructions in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• 2.5-inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threading for compatibility with standard black iron fittings
• 12-inch overall length provides useful reach between fittings in mechanical piping layouts
• Black steel construction standard for natural gas and propane distribution piping
• Solid steel material delivers durability in demanding residential and commercial mechanical environments
• 5.39-pound build weight reflects full steel wall thickness throughout the nipple body

Compatibility

Designed as a standard black steel threaded pipe nipple for use with NPT-threaded black iron fittings in gas, air, and general mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples on gas lines must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas-line technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the line before threading any fittings. Use an appropriate pipe thread sealant or thread tape rated for gas service on all threaded joints. Inspect all connections with a leak-detection solution before restoring service.
