Bmi Usa 10768 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 X 8 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10768 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. This fitting measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, making it suitable for connecting or extending pipe runs where a fixed-length close or intermediate nipple is required. The black finish indicates an uncoated steel surface standard for interior gas line and industrial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically handle installation in both residential and light commercial settings.

This nipple is commonly used in gas distribution lines, steam systems, water supply piping, and compressed air lines where steel fittings are specified. The 1-1/4 inch diameter suits branch and main supply runs in residential gas systems and commercial mechanical rooms. It threads directly into standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings without modification.

Key Features

• Black steel construction rated for gas, steam, and water service
• 1-1/4 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 8 inch length provides a fixed extension for close-quarter pipe runs
• Uncoated black finish suitable for interior gas and mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply fitting compatible with 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial gas, plumbing, and mechanical 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 gas or plumbing service is involved. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Inspect threads for damage before makeup and do not overtighten, as steel nipples can crack fittings if forced.
