Bmi Usa 10051 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 4x9 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10051 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 4 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. This nipple features a black finish, which is standard for gas piping applications and certain low-pressure fluid systems. At 7.35 pounds, the steel construction provides durability and resistance to the mechanical stress common in trade piping installations. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters working on residential or commercial systems.

This pipe nipple is suited for gas distribution lines, black iron piping systems, and related plumbing or mechanical applications where black steel threaded pipe is specified. The 4-inch diameter and 9-inch length make it appropriate for moderate-to-large diameter runs requiring a short connecting section between system components. It is commonly found in commercial mechanical rooms, residential gas supply lines, and industrial piping assemblies.

Key Features

• Black steel construction rated for gas and compatible fluid piping applications
• 4-inch diameter x 9-inch length for short-run threaded connections
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard fittings, valves, and couplings
• Black finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for gas service environments
• Solid steel build at 7.35 pounds supports high-demand mechanical piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation black steel pipe nipple for use in 4-inch threaded piping systems. Compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings specified for black iron pipe service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate. Shut off gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure in the line before disassembling any piping. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or pipe tape to all threaded connections before assembly. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure a leak-free joint.
