Bmi Usa 10889 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1.5x6 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10889 is a black steel single-run pipe nipple sized at 1.5 inches diameter and 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections of pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. This nipple is manufactured from steel with a black finish, making it a standard choice for gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and other industrial or mechanical piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of a larger piping assembly where a compact, straight connection is required between components.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial piping installations where a 1.5-inch schedule-rated black steel fitting is called for. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution systems, and general mechanical piping runs where a steel fitting with a black finish is specified. The 6-inch length provides enough clearance to connect valves, tees, elbows, or other threaded fittings without requiring a union or offset in the line.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for durability in gas and mechanical piping systems
• 1.5-inch diameter fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves
• 6-inch single-run length for direct, compact piping connections
• Black finish suitable for gas line applications per common installation standards
• Weighs 7.35 pounds, consistent with heavy-wall steel construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fitting compatible with 1.5-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical, gas, and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas lines, or IPC requirements for water and mechanical systems. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system before beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
