Bmi Usa 10983 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 48 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 10983 is a ready-cut black steel pipe nipple with a length of 48 inches and a 2-inch nominal diameter, intended for use in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Constructed from steel with a black finish, this pipe nipple is a pre-threaded, fixed-length fitting used to connect valves, fittings, and other components in a piping run. Its ready-cut design eliminates the need for field cutting, saving time on installations where standard lengths apply. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of component in both residential and commercial applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in low-pressure gas lines, water supply systems, compressed air distribution, and general industrial piping where black steel is an acceptable or required material. The 48-inch length and 2-inch nominal size make it appropriate for longer straight runs between fittings or equipment connections. It is commonly used in commercial mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility piping installations where black iron pipe is standard practice.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service applies. Shut off and depressurize the system before making any connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading the nipple into fittings. Inspect threads for damage prior to installation to ensure a leak-free joint.
