Bmi Usa 10483 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 48 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 10483 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 48 inches in length, designed for use in gas, water, and industrial piping systems. Constructed from steel with a black finish, this ready-cut nipple provides a reliable, ready-to-install threaded connection between pipe fittings, valves, and other piping components. At 3.38 pounds, it is a full-length nipple suited for runs requiring an extended rigid section without field cutting. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of rough-in and service piping assemblies across residential and commercial applications.

This pipe nipple is used in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where a 48-inch threaded steel section is required. It is appropriate for both new construction rough-in work and repair or replacement of existing steel pipe runs. The black finish is standard for gas supply lines and non-potable water systems. It fits standard threaded pipe fittings and is commonly installed in basement utility, boiler room, and commercial mechanical room environments.

Key Features

• 48-inch ready-cut length eliminates field cutting and threading on standard runs
• Steel construction provides strength and durability in pressure piping applications
• Black finish suited for gas supply and non-potable piping systems
• Threaded ends connect directly to standard pipe fittings, valves, and couplings
• Ready-cut design ensures consistent thread quality from the manufacturer

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard threaded steel pipe fittings in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any pipe section. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded joints before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to avoid stressing the pipe.
