Bmi Usa 10867 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1.5x7 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10867 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1.5 inches in diameter by 7 inches in length. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors between fittings, valves, and pipes in gas, water, and general plumbing distribution systems. This nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish, making it a standard choice for low-pressure gas lines and black iron piping systems. At 1.46 pounds, it carries the weight expected of a solid steel fitting in this size class. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this type of component.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where black iron or steel pipe is specified. Common install scenarios include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution piping, and steam or hot water heating systems that use threaded steel pipe. The black finish is characteristic of fittings used in gas service, where galvanized coatings are typically avoided due to potential flaking inside gas lines.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suited for gas and general plumbing service
• 1.5-inch nominal diameter with 7-inch length for mid-reach connections
• Threaded ends for standard NPT fitting connections
• Solid steel build at 1.46 pounds for durability in pressurized systems
• Black finish standard for gas-line iron pipe applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded pipe nipple compatible with 1.5-inch NPT black iron fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial steel pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of black iron pipe nipples is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off all gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any pipe fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or create leak points.
