Measuring 1\/8 inch in diameter and 11 inches in length, this nipple serves as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, and other piping components. The black finish results from a hot-process treatment that provides a base level of corrosion resistance suitable for dry or low-moisture applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in both residential and light commercial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is well suited for low-pressure gas distribution lines, black iron piping systems, and general mechanical plumbing where 1\/8-inch threaded connections are specified. The 11-inch length makes it useful in situations where standard close or short nipples do not reach between fittings. Typical applications include branch connections, appliance gas supply lines, and threaded pipe framework in mechanical rooms and utility spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides strength and durability for threaded piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas line and black iron pipe applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e11-inch length bridges gaps where shorter nipples are insufficient\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.22 pounds for easy handling during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 1\/8-inch black iron piping systems used in residential and light commercial gas and plumbing 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, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required by the application. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can damage threads or crack adjacent fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701101717\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: 10171\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346634604850,"sku":"10171","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553526.jpg?v=1782086130","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-10171-black-steel-pipe-nipple-1-8-x-11-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
