Bmi Usa 10038 Black Steel Ready Cut Pipe 3x36 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10038 is a black steel ready cut pipe section measuring 3 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Black steel pipe is a standard material in gas distribution and mechanical systems, used to carry natural gas, propane, and other non-corrosive gases in both residential and commercial applications. At 22.21 pounds, this pre-cut section arrives ready for threading and installation without additional cutting steps on the job. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians routinely work with this pipe type when roughing in fuel gas lines or replacing damaged sections of existing runs.

This pipe section is suited for fuel gas piping systems in residential and light commercial settings. Its 3-inch diameter makes it appropriate for main trunk lines or larger branch runs where higher flow capacity is required. The pre-cut 36-inch length reduces job-site prep time when a standard section fits the layout. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and basement gas piping configurations.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for use in fuel gas and mechanical piping systems
• 3-inch diameter supports higher-volume gas distribution runs
• Pre-cut 36-inch length reduces on-site measuring and cutting time
• Black finish is standard for gas service pipe identification
• Ready for threading at each end to accept standard fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pipe section for standard 3-inch black steel gas piping systems using threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel gas pipe must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the work area before cutting into or connecting to an existing gas line. Threaded joints should be sealed with an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service. After installation, leak-test all connections with an approved gas leak detection solution before restoring gas flow.
