At 4.5 inches in length, it provides a short, rigid coupling point between fittings, valves, or other threaded components. The black finish is a standard mill-applied iron oxide coating common on steel nipples used in gas line and low-pressure steam applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple during rough-in and maintenance work on residential and light commercial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for use in threaded piping systems where a close or short extension connection is needed. Typical applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam heating systems, and general-purpose iron pipe assemblies in commercial and residential construction. It is appropriate for installations that require a 1\/4-inch nominal pipe size connection at approximately 4.5 inches of total length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack mill finish suitable for gas and low-pressure steam piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for strength and durability in threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.5-inch length provides a short rigid extension between threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch nominal pipe size for use in smaller-diameter piping runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for threaded iron pipe systems using 1\/4-inch nominal pipe size connections.\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 and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code as appropriate. Shut off gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or cause leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 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: 0.15 pounds\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: 10245\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343717892402,"sku":"10245","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310552573.jpg?v=1782024025","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-10245-black-steel-pipe-nipple-4-5-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
