At 3 inches in length with a 1\/4-inch diameter, this close-tolerance fitting delivers a secure, leak-resistant threaded connection in tight spaces. The black steel finish is standard for natural gas and propane piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple as a short connector between valves, fittings, or equipment ports. It weighs 0.09 pounds and is manufactured from steel for reliable service in pressurized systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping runs where a short threaded connector is required. Common installation scenarios include gas appliance connections, steam and hydronic heating systems, and compressed air distribution. The 3-inch length makes it useful where a close nipple would be too short and a longer nipple would interfere with surrounding components. It accepts standard NPT threading on both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction rated for gas and fluid piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch length provides a practical span between threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch pipe size fits standard NPT fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.09 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish is standard for natural gas distribution piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT threaded pipe nipple compatible with 1\/4-inch threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in gas, water, steam, and compressed air systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off the gas supply or depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as steel nipples can crack fittings if forced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701102301\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: 10230\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346107367730,"sku":"10230","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310552636.jpg?v=1782071069","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-10230-black-steel-pipe-nipple-3-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
