Bmi Usa 10225 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2.5 in 1/4 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10225 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in gas, water, and mechanical piping systems. At 2.5 inches in length with a 1/4-inch thread size, it provides a short, rigid threaded connection between fittings, valves, or pipe runs. The black finish results from an oil or wax coating applied during manufacturing, making this nipple common in gas distribution and black iron piping assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of rough-in and service work on residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical applications where a short threaded connector is required. It is a standard close-pattern nipple used in supply lines, branch connections, and fitting-to-valve assemblies. The 1/4-inch thread size and 2.5-inch body length make it appropriate for smaller-diameter gas or water lines where space between fittings is limited.

Key Features

• Steel construction provides durability in threaded piping applications
• Black finish suitable for gas distribution and black iron pipe systems
• 2.5-inch length for short-run or close-nipple connections

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off gas or water supply fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
