Bmi Usa 10971 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2x11

Product Description

The BMI USA 10971 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches in diameter and 11 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections 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, low-pressure steam systems, and general industrial piping applications. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas service technicians working on ferrous piping systems.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a 2-inch threaded black steel fitting is required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, and non-potable fluid conveyance systems where black steel pipe is the specified material. The 11-inch length makes it appropriate for runs that require a close-to-standard extension between threaded connections without field cutting.

Key Features

• 2-inch diameter by 11-inch length for use in standard black steel piping runs
• Black steel construction suited for gas and low-pressure steam service
• Threaded ends for connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Weighs 3.19 pounds for solid, heavy-gauge construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard black steel pipe nipple compatible with 2-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in gas and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified gas technician in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or applicable local codes. Shut off and verify gas or fluid supply is fully isolated and depressurized before removing or installing any threaded pipe section. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with appropriate leverage for the fitting size.
