Close nipples have minimal exposed thread between the two ends, making them ideal where space is tight and a direct connection between two fittings is required. The black finish indicates an uncoated steel construction common in gas-distribution and fire-sprinkler piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians use these fittings in gas-train assemblies as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial installations where threaded black-iron or steel pipe is the specified material. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam and hydronic heating piping, and fire-protection systems. The close-pattern length minimizes dead space in tight manifold or valve configurations, and the black steel material is compatible with standard pipe dope and PTFE tape sealing methods used in threaded gas and steam service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose-pattern nipple for minimal clearance between fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.125-inch diameter for standard pipe-thread connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and hydronic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated black finish compatible with pipe dope and PTFE thread sealant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded both ends for direct coupling to standard NPT fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement close nipple for standard NPT threaded black steel pipe systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and mechanical piping applications.\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 or International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant, such as pipe dope rated for the service medium or PTFE tape, to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as close nipples with minimal exposed thread are susceptible to cracking if excessive torque is applied with a pipe wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.73 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701100826\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: 10082\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342936834354,"sku":"10082","price":76.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310554092.jpg?v=1782011170","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-10082-black-steel-close-pipe-nipple-3-125-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
