Bmi Usa 10150 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/8 X 5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10150 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter and 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping system. This nipple features a black iron finish, which is standard for gas distribution and other non-potable piping applications. At 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight component but carries the mechanical strength expected of steel construction. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This black steel pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping systems, including natural gas and propane distribution lines. It is also used in fire suppression systems and low-pressure air or steam lines where black iron fittings are the accepted standard. The 1/8 inch size is commonly found at appliance connections and branch takeoffs where small-diameter fittings are required.

Key Features

• Black iron finish suitable for gas and non-potable piping systems
• Steel construction for mechanical durability
• 1/8 inch nominal diameter with 5-inch length for precise fit
• Threaded ends for standard female-thread connections
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread black iron pipe nipple for use with 1/8 inch female-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in gas and fluid piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all threaded connections. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as this can damage threads or fittings.
