Bmi Usa 10870 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1.5x10 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10870 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in gas, air, and fluid distribution systems across residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications. At 1.5 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, it serves as a reliable connecting segment between fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. Fabricated from steel with a black finish, it offers the durability needed for demanding trade environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a standard component in threaded piping assemblies where a fixed-length male-threaded stub is required.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and water supply or drainage configurations where threaded black steel pipe is specified. It is a common component in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and gas appliance rough-in work where a short, rigid threaded connection is needed between pipe runs or fittings.

Key Features

• Black steel construction provides strength and resistance in mechanical piping systems
• 1.5-inch diameter accommodates standard threaded fittings and valves
• 10-inch length offers a fixed-reach connection for spaced fittings or offsets
• Male NPT threads on both ends for straightforward threaded assembly
• Black finish suitable for gas line and general mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for use with 1.5-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in black steel pipe systems.

Installation Notes

This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where relevant. Apply thread sealant or listed pipe thread compound to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free connection without overtightening. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component.
