Bmi Usa 10054 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 4x12 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10054 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 4 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. This nipple ships at 10.05 pounds, reflecting the solid steel construction expected in commercial and industrial pipe assemblies. The black finish is standard for gas distribution piping, making this nipple a common choice for natural gas and propane supply lines in mechanical systems.

This pipe nipple is suited for gas piping, steam, and general plumbing applications where a threaded 4-inch connection is required. At 12 inches, it provides enough length to bridge fixture offsets or cross short spans between valves and fittings. Typical installation scenarios include commercial gas mains, boiler rooms, and industrial process piping where 4-inch black iron pipe is specified. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers on jobs governed by the IFGC or applicable local mechanical codes.

Key Features

• Black steel construction provides durability suited for gas and steam piping systems
• 4-inch diameter accommodates high-volume gas or fluid flow in commercial installations
• 12-inch length offers flexibility for spanning offsets between fittings and valves
• Threaded ends conform to standard NPT fitting connections
• Solid steel build at 10.05 pounds signals heavy-wall material appropriate for demanding service environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation component for 4-inch black iron pipe systems in gas, steam, or general plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of 4-inch black pipe nipples on gas systems must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with IFGC requirements and local mechanical codes. Shut off and verify the gas supply is fully depressurized before breaking any existing connection. Apply approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded joints. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
