Bmi Usa 10940 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2x4 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10940 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or pipe segments in a piping assembly. This nipple features a black finish, which is standard for gas piping and certain mechanical piping systems where galvanized or chrome fittings are not required. It weighs 1.06 pounds and is constructed from steel for durability under typical service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in commercial and residential applications.

This black steel pipe nipple is suited for use in gas distribution piping, steam systems, and general mechanical piping where black iron or steel fittings are specified. It is commonly installed in residential and light commercial gas supply lines, boiler piping, and similar low-pressure piping systems where a short close or extension connection is needed between two threaded components.

Key Features

• Black finish standard for gas and mechanical piping applications
• Steel construction provides strength and durability in threaded piping assemblies
• 4-inch length suits close-proximity fitting-to-fitting connections
• 2-inch diameter accommodates higher-volume flow paths in gas or fluid systems
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard trade fitting for use in black iron and steel threaded piping systems requiring a 2-inch by 4-inch nipple.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples in gas service should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify the line is depressurized before beginning any work. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
