Bmi Usa 10022 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 10022 is a black steel pipe nipple used in threaded pipe systems for gas, air, and water distribution. At 3 inches in length, this nipple serves as a short connector between fittings, valves, and other threaded components. The black finish results from a hot-dip or mill-applied coating that provides basic corrosion resistance in dry or moderate-moisture environments. Weighing 1.44 pounds, this is a solid, full-weight steel fitting suited for commercial and residential piping work.

This pipe nipple is a standard component in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and compressed air systems. Plumbers and pipefitters use nipples like this to make up threaded assemblies between valves, tees, elbows, and couplings. The 3-inch length makes it useful where a close nipple is too short and a longer run is unnecessary. It is suitable for above-grade gas piping, black iron pipe systems, and general-purpose threaded line work.

Key Features

• Black steel construction provides durability in dry and moderate service environments
• 3-inch length suits connections requiring a short threaded run between fittings
• Standard threaded ends compatible with NPT fittings and valves
• Solid steel build at 1.44 pounds ensures full-weight fitting integrity
• Black finish identifies the fitting for gas and air service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement nipple for use in NPT-threaded black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial gas, air, and water piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas service, or IPC requirements for water service. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up connections. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, and inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
