The black finish results from a hot-process oxide coating applied to the steel, which is standard for gas-line and industrial piping applications. At 2.94 pounds, this is a solid, full-weight fitting suitable for professional installation in commercial and residential environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians work with fittings like this daily when assembling threaded iron pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used wherever a short threaded extension is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Common applications include natural gas and propane supply lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, fire suppression rough-in, and general industrial piping. The 3-inch diameter and 5.5-inch length make it a practical close-reach connector in higher-flow or larger-diameter pipe runs found in commercial mechanical rooms and industrial facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction — standard for gas and industrial threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch nominal diameter fits schedule 40 threaded iron pipe configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5.5-inch length provides a short extension between threaded fittings or equipment ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish resists corrosion in dry and low-moisture indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.94-pound solid steel construction suited for pressure-rated mechanical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 3-inch threaded iron pipe systems used in gas, steam, compressed air, and general mechanical piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and verify the system is depressurized before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe-joint compound rated for the intended service medium — do not use standard Teflon tape on gas fittings unless the product is rated for gas service. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fittings for damage before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.94 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMI USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345954930994,"sku":"10027","price":29.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553908.jpg?v=1782067422","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-10027-black-steel-pipe-nipple-3x5-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
