Bmi Usa 10869 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1.5x9 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10869 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe systems across residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications. Measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length, this nipple serves as a short connector between fittings, valves, and other threaded components. Constructed from steel with a black finish, it provides reliable performance in dry, non-potable, and gas piping configurations where corrosion resistance from a galvanized coating is not required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This pipe nipple is suited for low-pressure gas piping, steam, air, and general-purpose industrial or mechanical systems. The black finish makes it a common choice for natural gas and propane supply lines in both residential and light commercial settings. It threads into standard NPT fittings and is a staple in rough-in plumbing and mechanical room installations.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability in threaded piping systems
• Black finish suitable for gas, steam, and air service applications
• 9-inch length provides a versatile mid-length connection between fittings

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system before beginning any threaded pipe work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium before making up connections. All gas piping installations must comply with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC).
