Bmi Usa 10034 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3x12

Product Description

The BMI USA 10034 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 3 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in a piping system. This nipple is constructed from steel with a black finish, making it well suited for gas distribution lines, steam systems, and other industrial or commercial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as a standard component in both new construction and retrofit work.

This black steel pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded close or fixed-length connection is required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and industrial fluid conveyance. The black finish is standard for gas piping installations in accordance with typical local and national codes. At 3 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, it fits medium- to large-diameter pipe runs where a precise extension or connection point is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples on gas lines must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and local jurisdictional requirements. Shut off the gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning any work. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant rated for gas service on all threaded connections.
