Bmi Usa 10771 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1.25x11 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10771 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1.25 inches in diameter and 11 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections of pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other pipe segments in a piping system. This nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish, making it suitable for gas distribution, fire suppression, and general industrial piping applications. At 1.98 pounds, it is a solid, full-bodied fitting intended for professional installation by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians working on low-pressure fluid and gas systems.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded steel fitting is required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing rough-in work. The black finish is standard for gas service applications, where galvanized fittings are typically avoided. The 11-inch length makes it well suited for spanning moderate gaps between fittings or equipment connections in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• Black steel construction rated for gas and general piping service
• 1.25-inch nominal diameter with standard threaded ends for easy integration
• 11-inch length covers moderate connection gaps without additional couplings
• Solid steel build at 1.98 pounds provides durability in demanding installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit component for threaded steel piping systems using 1.25-inch nominal pipe size (NPS) fittings and valves.

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 relevant. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape to all male threads before making up connections. Do not overtighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
