Bmi Usa 10372 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3/8 X 12 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10372 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 12 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded pipe components in a piping system. This nipple features a black finish, which is standard for gas piping applications in residential and light commercial installations. It weighs 0.55 pounds and is constructed from steel for durability under typical service pressures. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of gas supply lines, compressed air systems, and other threaded pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a 3/8 inch threaded connection is required. At 12 inches in length, it provides an extended reach between fittings, making it useful in applications where standard close or short nipples fall short. Typical installations include gas branch lines, boiler piping, and general plumbing rough-in work where NPT-threaded steel pipe is specified.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas piping applications
• 3/8 inch diameter with 12 inch length for extended reach between fittings
• Threaded ends for connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.55 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Black finish applied over steel for corrosion resistance in dry service environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded steel pipe nipple for use with compatible threaded fittings, valves, and pipe in residential and light commercial gas and plumbing piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing and mechanical codes, including applicable sections of the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the service medium before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or cause thread failure.
