Bmi Usa 10370 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3/8 X 10 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10370 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 10 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in a piping system. This nipple features a black finish typical of low-pressure gas and air distribution applications. At 0.46 pounds, it is a lightweight and straightforward fitting installed by licensed plumbers and gas fitters working on residential and light commercial systems.

This black pipe nipple is suited for use in gas supply lines, air distribution systems, and general-purpose piping assemblies where a 3/8-inch threaded connection is required. The black finish indicates suitability for gas service in many jurisdictions, though the installer should always verify local code requirements. It is commonly found in residential gas appliance connections and similar low-pressure piping applications.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for durability in gas and air service applications
• 3/8-inch diameter with standard NPT threading for broad fitting compatibility
• 10-inch length provides a mid-range extension between fittings or components
• Lightweight at 0.46 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for 3/8-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and light commercial gas, air, or general-purpose plumbing assemblies.

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) as applicable. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any pipe fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or compromise the seal.
