Bmi Usa 10025 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3x4.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10025 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 4.5 inches in length, it is machined from steel with a black finish applied for corrosion resistance in indoor applications. This nipple threads directly into fittings, valves, and other pipe ends using standard NPT threads. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians in both residential and light commercial settings.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in gas supply lines, water distribution, compressed air systems, and general mechanical piping where a short threaded extension or close coupling between fittings is required. The black finish makes it a standard choice for natural gas and propane service lines in residential and commercial installations.

• 3-inch diameter with 4.5-inch length for precise close-quarter connections
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded connections.
