Bmi Usa 10270 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/4 X 10 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10270 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in gas, air, and fluid distribution systems. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 10 inches in length, this close-threaded fitting connects sections of pipe in both residential and light commercial installations. The black finish indicates a mill-applied iron oxide coating standard for gas piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of fittings in this category.

This nipple is suited for low-pressure gas lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose fluid conveyance where a 1/4-inch threaded connection is required. The 10-inch length makes it appropriate for applications needing a longer rigid connector between valves, tees, or other threaded fittings. It is commonly used in residential gas appliance hookups, boiler rooms, and mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• Black steel construction rated for gas piping service
• 1/4-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 10-inch overall length for extended reach between fittings
• Mill-applied black finish for corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• Lightweight at 0.34 pounds for easy single-handed installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/4-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local mechanical and gas codes, including applicable sections of the IFGC or IPC. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the specific service before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
