Bmi Usa 10883 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1.5x48 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10883 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 48 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in piping systems. This nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish, making it well-suited for gas distribution, steam, and industrial fluid transfer applications. At 10.76 pounds, it is a full-length nipple intended for runs requiring extended reach between connection points. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of component.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded steel connection is required over a longer span. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and industrial process piping. The black finish indicates this nipple has not been galvanized, which is the appropriate choice for gas service where galvanized fittings are not permitted by code. It is well-suited for use with standard threaded fittings and valves across a wide range of trade applications.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and fluid transfer applications
• 48-inch length provides extended reach for long pipe runs
• 1.5-inch diameter with standard threaded ends for compatibility with common fittings and valves
• Non-galvanized black finish meets code requirements for natural gas supply piping
• Solid steel material for durability under pressure and elevated temperature conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for threaded steel piping systems requiring a 1.5-inch by 48-inch black steel pipe nipple.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before making any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe tape to all threaded joints prior to assembly. Do not use galvanized nipples in natural gas service lines where local codes prohibit them.
