Bmi Usa 10885 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1-1/2x60 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10885 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length. It is a ready-cut threaded pipe section used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in gas, water, and steam distribution systems. The black finish is applied during manufacturing and is standard for natural gas and propane supply lines in residential and light commercial settings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of nipples at this length and diameter.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in natural gas supply piping, hydronic heating systems, steam distribution, and industrial fluid transfer where black steel pipe is the specified material. At 60 inches, this is a full-length nipple appropriate for spanning longer runs between fittings without additional couplings. It is used in both residential and commercial mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and inline piping applications where code allows black steel pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Shut off and lock out the gas or fluid supply completely before making any connections. Apply thread sealant or pipe dope rated for the service medium to all NPT threads before assembly.
