Bmi Usa 10467 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/2 X 7 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10467 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch diameter by 7 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or pipe segments in a piping assembly. This nipple carries a black finish, which is standard for gas distribution and general-purpose piping where corrosion protection is applied during the manufacturing process. At 0.47 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for both overhead and inline runs. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install these routinely in new construction and repair work.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial gas piping systems, as well as water and steam distribution lines where black steel pipe fittings are specified. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility spaces where code-compliant black iron piping assemblies are assembled. The 1/2 inch size is among the most frequently encountered in residential gas appliance connections and branch line configurations.

Key Features

• Black finish steel construction for gas and general-purpose piping service
• 1/2 inch nominal diameter fits standard 1/2 inch threaded fittings and valves
• 7 inch length provides useful standoff distance for close nipple or riser configurations
• Lightweight at 0.47 pounds for easy single-hand installation in tight spaces
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply fitting for 1/2 inch NPT threaded piping assemblies in gas, water, and steam systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples is typically performed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded connections. Local codes including the IFGC and IPC govern acceptable materials and installation practices for gas and water piping.
