Bmi Usa 10160 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/8 X 6 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10160 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for low-pressure piping connections in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. Measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple serves as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. The black finish indicates untreated steel, which is standard for gas piping and non-corrosive dry applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and light commercial work.

This nipple is suited for use in gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, water supply rough-in, and general-purpose mechanical piping where a 1/8-inch NPT threaded connection is required. Its 6-inch length makes it a standard close-to-medium run connector between two threaded fittings or equipment inlets. It is commonly used in HVAC gas train assemblies, burner connections, and plumbing rough-in where small-diameter steel pipe is specified.

Key Features

• Black steel construction standard for gas and dry mechanical piping applications
• 6-inch length provides a straight threaded run between fittings
• 1/8-inch diameter fits standard NPT fittings and valves
• Threaded on both ends for direct installation into existing pipe assemblies
• Compact and lightweight at 0.12 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for 1/8-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Follow applicable IFGC or IPC requirements for pipe material use and joint sealing in gas and water systems.
