Bmi Usa 10583 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 48 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 10583 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 48 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of pipe threaded on both ends, used to connect two fittings or extend a run within a piping system. This nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish, making it suited for gas distribution, fire suppression, and general industrial piping applications. At 4.5 pounds, it offers solid construction for demanding trade installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary trades working with this type of nipple.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems where a longer rigid connection between two threaded fittings is required. The 48-inch length makes it appropriate for runs that would otherwise require multiple shorter nipples and additional fittings. It is a common component in gas supply lines, steam systems, and black iron piping networks throughout mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and in-wall rough-in applications.

Key Features

• 48-inch length provides an extended reach for long nipple runs without additional fittings
• Steel construction delivers strength and durability in pressurized piping systems
• Black finish is standard for gas and fire suppression pipe applications
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection to standard pipe fittings
• 4.5-pound weight reflects solid, full-gauge steel wall construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for black iron threaded piping systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and general mechanical piping installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where required. Shut off gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure before making any threaded connections. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service when making up connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
