Bmi Usa 10950 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2x5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10950 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe segments used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components within a system. This nipple features a black steel finish, making it a common choice for gas distribution, steam, and general plumbing piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting during new construction or repair work on threaded iron pipe systems. At 1.36 pounds, it is a solid, full-weight steel component built for industrial and residential applications alike.

Black steel pipe nipples of this size are widely used in residential and light commercial piping systems, including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and general-purpose water or air conveyance where black iron pipe is specified. The 2-inch diameter and 5-inch length make this a mid-range close nipple suitable for branch connections and inline extensions in standard threaded piping layouts. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on gas or steam systems regularly stock fittings of this type.

Installation Notes

Installation 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) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service, whether gas, steam, or water.
