Bmi Usa 10052 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 4x10 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10052 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 4 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping systems. This nipple features a black finish, which is standard for low-pressure gas, compressed air, and general fluid piping applications. At 8.24 pounds, the steel construction provides the durability and thread integrity that trade professionals expect in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-in work.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a 4-inch threaded connection is required. Common applications include gas supply lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing rough-in. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during system assembly and service. The black finish distinguishes it from galvanized fittings and is widely accepted for dry, non-potable applications per local code requirements.
