Bmi Usa 10269 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/4 X 9 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10269 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in piping assemblies where a short, threaded connector is needed between fittings or valves. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 9 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish, making it well suited for gas distribution lines, steam systems, and general plumbing applications. At 0.31 pounds, it is a lightweight component that licensed plumbers and pipefitters install as a standard part of threaded pipe runs.

This pipe nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial piping systems, including natural gas supply lines, air lines, and hydronic heating configurations. Its black finish distinguishes it from galvanized fittings and is the standard choice for gas piping in many jurisdictions. The 1/4 inch nominal size fits applications requiring a smaller-diameter threaded connection within an existing piping layout.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suited for gas and steam piping applications
• 1/4 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 9-inch length provides reach between spaced fittings or valves
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Black finish is code-accepted for natural gas piping in many regions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for threaded steel piping systems using 1/4 inch nominal pipe fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure before disassembling or replacing any section of a gas line. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded connections. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
