Bmi Usa 10029 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3x7 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10029 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 3 inches by 7 inches, designed for use in piping systems where a short, rigid threaded connection is required. Constructed from steel with a black finish, this nipple provides a durable joint between fittings, valves, or threaded pipe runs. It is a standard close-coupling component used by plumbers and pipefitters in gas, water, and steam distribution applications. The black finish is typical for gas service lines in both residential and light commercial installations.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems where a 3-inch threaded connection point is needed. It fits between standard threaded fittings and valves as part of a larger pipe assembly. Common install scenarios include natural gas supply lines, boiler connections, and general-purpose steel pipe runs where code-compliant threaded steel pipe is required.

Key Features

• Steel construction provides strength and durability for pressure piping applications
• Black finish consistent with gas service line standards
• 3-inch by 7-inch dimensions suit medium-diameter piping connections
• Standard threaded ends compatible with NPT fittings and valves
• Rigid, short-length design minimizes flex and movement at connection points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-supply fitting for use with 3-inch NPT threaded piping systems in gas, steam, or water service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate to the service type. Shut off the gas or water supply and verify zero pressure in the line before threading or removing any fittings. Use an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or crack cast components.
