Bmi Usa 10028 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3x6 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10028 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 3 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or pipe segments in a piping system. This nipple carries a black finish, which is standard for gas distribution, fire suppression, and general industrial piping applications. At 3.24 pounds, the steel construction delivers the durability and thread integrity that plumbers and pipefitters expect in high-demand installations. Threaded ends allow for quick assembly into standard pipe fittings without additional modification.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 3-inch black steel connection is required. Common install scenarios include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, fire sprinkler rough-in, and general industrial fluid conveyance. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically handle installation in code-governed systems. The 6-inch length makes it useful as a close extension between valves, tees, and union fittings where a standard close or short nipple does not provide adequate clearance.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for corrosion resistance in gas and industrial piping systems
• 3-inch nominal diameter with 6-inch overall length
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard pipe fittings and valves
• Black finish compatible with gas line and fire suppression applications
• Solid steel material provides the thread strength needed for high-pressure service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style black steel pipe nipple for use with standard 3-inch threaded pipe fittings in gas, industrial, and fire suppression piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples in gas systems must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before beginning any fitting work. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe-thread compound rated for the intended service medium before making up connections. Pressure-test the assembled system per applicable code requirements before returning it to service.
