Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other pipe components in a run. This nipple carries a black finish, which is standard for low-pressure gas distribution and non-potable fluid piping systems. At 5.55 pounds, it is a solid, full-weight fitting suited for demanding mechanical and plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians frequently use black steel nipples in gas supply roughing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack steel pipe nipples like the 10049 are used across residential and light commercial installations. Common applications include natural gas and propane supply lines, steam and hydronic heating systems, and industrial fluid transfer. The 4-inch diameter and 7-inch length make this a commonly specified size for gas header assemblies, boiler connections, and mechanical room piping where a short close-coupled extension is needed between components. Its steel construction handles the thermal and mechanical stresses typical in these environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas and non-potable piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides strength and durability under pressure and heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch diameter x 7-inch length for close-coupled fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends for standard NPT fitting assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid weight at 5.55 pounds indicating full-thickness wall construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded black steel pipe nipple for use with compatible 4-inch pipe fittings, valves, and couplings in gas, steam, and fluid piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before assembly. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.55 pounds\u003c\/li\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\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: 10049\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346310234418,"sku":"10049","price":41.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310554013.jpg?v=1782077129","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-10049-black-steel-pipe-nipple-4x7-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
