Bmi Usa 10855 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1.5x5.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10855 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1.5 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded pipe components. This nipple is constructed from steel with a black finish, making it suitable for gas distribution, plumbing, and mechanical piping systems. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install nipples like this as part of larger pipe assemblies in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is a standard fitting used in a range of piping applications including natural gas lines, propane systems, steam systems, and water distribution. Its black finish is typically associated with gas service piping. The 1.5-inch diameter and 5.5-inch length make it well-suited for close-quarter connections where a specific extension is needed between threaded components.

Key Features

• Black finish steel construction suited for gas and mechanical piping service
• 1.5-inch diameter for use with standard 1.5-inch threaded fittings and valves
• 5.5-inch length provides a fixed, measurable extension between threaded connections
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to standard NPT fittings
• Steel material provides durability under typical piping system pressures and temperatures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard pipe fitting for use with 1.5-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings in gas, plumbing, or mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate to the service. Shut off gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing pipe nipples. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape compatible with the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not overtighten, as this can damage threads or fittings.
