Bmi Usa 10155 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/8 X 5.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10155 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch diameter by 5.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections of pipe used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or other components in a piping system. This nipple features a black finish, which is standard for gas piping applications and low-pressure systems. At 0.11 pounds, it is a lightweight fitting suited for tight spaces and close-quarter connections. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during new construction and service work.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial piping systems. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, black iron piping assemblies, and low-pressure steam or air lines where black steel fittings are specified. It is typically installed between shutoff valves, appliance connectors, manifolds, or other threaded pipe components requiring a short run of pipe.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for use in gas and low-pressure piping systems
• 1/8 inch nominal pipe diameter for small-bore connections
• 5.5 inch overall length providing a close nipple extension between fittings
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection to compatible fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.11 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard black steel pipe nipple for use with 1/8 inch NPT threaded fittings in residential and commercial piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and gas codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where required. Shut off gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all threaded joints before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads or fittings.
