Bmi Usa 10680 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 30 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 10680 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 30 inches in length, designed for use in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Fabricated from steel with a black finish, this ready-cut nipple provides a threaded connection point for joining pipe sections or fittings in low-pressure and medium-pressure applications. At 4.12 pounds, it offers solid construction suited for permanent installations where corrosion-resistant coatings are not required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify black steel nipples for natural gas, propane, and steam lines where iron or steel pipe assemblies are standard.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications, including gas supply lines, boiler systems, and general plumbing rough-in work. The 30-inch cut length reduces field fabrication time when a longer nipple run is needed between fittings or equipment connections. It is commonly used where black iron pipe systems are specified by local mechanical or plumbing codes.

Key Features

• 30-inch ready-cut length reduces on-site cutting and threading labor
• Black steel construction suited for gas, steam, and general plumbing service
• Threaded ends for standard pipe fitting connections
• 4.12-pound solid steel build for durable permanent installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for black iron pipe assemblies used in residential and commercial gas and plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply or water source and relieve system pressure before making any pipe connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe joint compound to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not use black steel pipe in applications requiring corrosion-resistant materials, such as potable water distribution.
