Bmi Usa 10019 Black Steel Ready Cut Pipe 2.5x48 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10019 is a black steel ready cut pipe measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 48 inches in length. Black steel pipe is a standard material in gas distribution systems, used to supply natural gas and propane to appliances such as furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and commercial cooking equipment. The black finish results from the mill scale left on the pipe surface during manufacturing. At 22.78 pounds, this section is sized for direct installation without field cutting, saving time on rough-in work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this product type.

This pipe is used in residential and light commercial gas piping applications where a pre-cut, fixed-length section is specified. The 48-inch length suits common rough-in runs between shutoff valves, fittings, and appliance connections. It is also used in heating system installations where code-compliant black steel is the required material for gas supply lines. Installers typically thread the ends on-site or source pre-threaded sections depending on the fitting configuration required by the system layout.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel gas pipe must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the gas supply at the meter or main shutoff valve and verify zero pressure before beginning any pipe work. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant rated for gas service on all threaded connections. Pressure-test the completed assembly per local code requirements before restoring gas flow or lighting any appliances.
