Bmi Usa 10023 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10023 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 3.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded fittings used to connect sections of pipe or to join pipe to valves, fittings, and other components in a piping system. This nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish, making it well suited for gas, air, and industrial fluid distribution lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians install these fittings during new construction, system extensions, and repair work across residential and commercial applications.

This 3.5-inch black pipe nipple is a standard close-quarters fitting used where a short threaded male connection is required between two female-threaded components. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, compressed air systems, and general plumbing rough-in work. The black finish makes it a common choice for gas piping systems where galvanized fittings are not permitted by local code.

Key Features

• 3.5-inch length suits tight-clearance connection points in pipe runs
• Steel construction provides strength and durability under pressure
• Black finish is standard for gas supply line applications
• Threaded male ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation pipe nipple compatible with 3-inch by 3.5-inch black iron pipe systems using NPT-threaded fittings in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where relevant. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all threaded joints before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as steel pipe fittings can crack or cross-thread under excessive force.
