Bmi Usa 10485 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 60 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 10485 is a black steel pipe nipple with a length of 60 inches, designed for use in gas, air, and fluid distribution piping systems. Constructed from steel with a black finish, this ready-cut nipple provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point in both residential and commercial piping installations. Its full-length form makes it suitable for applications requiring extended pipe runs without additional fittings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians typically specify this type of nipple when building or extending supply lines in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and equipment connections.

This 60-inch black steel pipe nipple is used across a range of applications including natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, and water supply piping in commercial and residential settings. The black finish is standard for gas service piping and is commonly required by code for interior gas supply lines. Its length makes it a practical choice for spanning longer distances between fittings or equipment connections in tight mechanical installations.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements depending on the service application. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the intended service medium before making threaded connections. Do not overtighten threaded joints, as this can damage fittings or compromise the connection.
