Bmi Usa 10050 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 8 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 10050 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 8 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components. This nipple is constructed from steel with a black finish, making it a standard choice for gas distribution lines, steam systems, and general-purpose plumbing where black iron pipe is specified. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on low-pressure gas or hydronic systems.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where black steel pipe and fittings are required. Common uses include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and fire sprinkler piping. The 8-inch length makes it appropriate for runs that require more distance between fittings than a close or short nipple provides.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for use in gas, steam, and general piping systems
• 8-inch length suits intermediate spacing between fittings or valves
• Threaded ends for standard black iron pipe connections
• Consistent with IFGC requirements for black iron gas piping installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use component compatible with standard black steel pipe systems using threaded black iron fittings.

Installation Notes

Black steel pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Before installation, shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line. Use pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service on all threaded connections. Follow applicable IFGC, IPC, or local code requirements for pipe jointing and pressure testing.
