Bmi Usa 10967 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2x7 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10967 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches by 7 inches, used to connect sections of threaded pipe in gas, water, and industrial piping systems. The black finish results from a hot oil or oxide coating applied during manufacturing, which provides moderate corrosion resistance and is standard for gas distribution and low-pressure steam applications. At 1.98 pounds, this nipple is a full-weight, solid steel fitting suited for professional plumbing and pipefitting work in both residential and commercial settings.

This pipe nipple is commonly used in gas supply lines, steam systems, and general-purpose black iron piping runs. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install nipples like this one when extending or connecting threaded pipe segments, making up assemblies for gas appliances, boilers, and heating systems. The 7-inch length makes it a close nipple alternative when a moderate standoff between fittings is required.

Key Features

• Black steel construction provides durability in gas and low-pressure steam service
• 2-inch diameter fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for black iron threaded pipe systems using 2-inch NPT connections in residential and commercial gas, steam, and water piping applications.

Installation Notes

Black steel pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working under applicable plumbing and gas codes, including the IFGC and IPC. Shut off gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before threading into fittings. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, which can crack fittings or strip threads.
