Bmi Usa 10479 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 24 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 10479 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 24 inches in length, designed for use in piping systems where a ready-cut, fixed-length threaded section is required. Black steel pipe nipples are standard components in gas distribution, compressed air, and industrial fluid systems. This nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish and is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and commercial applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in gas supply lines, heating system piping, and general-purpose threaded pipe assemblies. Its 24-inch length makes it appropriate for straight runs where a longer fixed-length section is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. It is commonly found in residential gas appliance hookups, boiler rooms, and mechanical rooms where threaded black steel pipe is the specified material.

Key Features

• Black finish steel construction for use in gas and general-purpose piping applications
• Ready-cut at 24 inches for immediate installation without field cutting
• Threaded ends for standard threaded fitting connections
• 1.68 pounds — lightweight enough for single-tech handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard trade component for threaded black steel pipe systems using 1/2-inch nominal pipe size fittings and connections.

Installation Notes

Black steel pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local mechanical and gas codes, including IFGC requirements for gas line work. Shut off gas supply or system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading connections. Do not overtighten threaded joints; follow industry-standard assembly practice for threaded steel pipe.
