Bmi Usa 10272 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/4 X 12 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10272 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple serves as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. Its black steel construction makes it a common choice for gas distribution lines where galvanized fittings are not required or permitted. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify black steel nipples like this one for natural gas and propane applications in both residential and light commercial settings.

The 10272 is suited for residential and commercial gas piping installations, as well as general-purpose black iron pipe systems. Its 1/4 inch nominal thread size and 12 inch body length make it appropriate for runs requiring a longer connector between two threaded components. This part is commonly installed in gas supply lines, air lines, and steam or hydronic heating systems where black steel pipe is the specified material.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas and general-purpose piping applications
• 12 inch length provides an extended threaded connection between fittings
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading
• Black finish is compatible with black iron pipe system components
• Lightweight at 0.41 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for standard 1/4 inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems used in residential and commercial gas and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or compromise the seal.
