Bmi Usa 10572 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3/4 X 12 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10572 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems. At 3/4 inch diameter and 12 inches in length, it provides a reliable close-to-medium extension point between fittings, valves, or other threaded components. The black finish results from a mill-applied oxide coating rather than galvanizing, making this nipple a standard choice for gas distribution lines, fire suppression roughin, and general industrial piping. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 3/4 inch threaded connection is required. Common uses include natural gas and propane supply lines, hydronic heating distribution, compressed air runs, and steam piping where galvanized fittings are not required or permitted. The 12-inch body length accommodates moderate spacing between fittings without requiring a union or coupling.

Key Features

• Black oxide finish — standard for gas line and non-potable piping applications
• Steel construction for strength and pressure resistance
• 3/4 inch NPT threaded ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• 12-inch body length suits medium-span connections between components
• Weighs 1.09 pounds — solid, full-weight steel construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation 3/4 inch NPT black steel pipe nipple for use with threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in gas, mechanical, and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas fitter depending on the application and local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Installations on gas piping must comply with IFGC requirements and are subject to local inspection.
