Bmi Usa 10369 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3/8 X 9 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10369 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 9 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in a piping system. This nipple features a black finish, which is standard for gas and low-pressure steam applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, gas fitters, and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems. The steel construction provides durability under typical working pressures found in gas distribution and plumbing rough-in applications.

This nipple is suited for use in gas piping systems, water supply lines, and general plumbing applications where a 3/8-inch threaded connection is required. The 9-inch length makes it a practical choice for close-quarter runs and offset connections where a longer close nipple or a shorter extension would not fit. It is commonly used in residential gas line rough-in, boiler piping, and industrial fluid distribution applications.

Key Features

• Black finish suitable for gas piping and low-pressure steam systems
• Steel construction for strength and durability under working pressure
• 3/8-inch diameter with 9-inch length for versatile short-run connections
• Threaded ends for standard fitting connections
• Lightweight at 0.41 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded pipe nipple for use with 3/8-inch fittings, valves, and couplings in gas, plumbing, and general piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where required. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any pipe section. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe-thread tape to threaded connections before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or compromise the seal.
