Bmi Usa 10985 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2x60

Product Description

The BMI USA 10985 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length. It is designed for use in threaded pipe systems where a long-run connection is required between fittings, valves, or other piping components. Weighing 18.12 pounds, this heavy-duty steel nipple delivers the structural integrity needed in gas, water, and general-purpose piping applications. The black finish is standard for gas supply lines and is commonly specified in both residential and light commercial installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of component.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where a full-length 60-inch threaded nipple is required. Its steel construction and black finish make it appropriate for natural gas and propane supply lines, as well as steam and air systems that call for black iron pipe. The 60-inch length reduces the need for additional couplings in longer runs, simplifying layout and reducing potential leak points.

Key Features

• 60-inch length provides extended reach without additional couplings
• 2-inch diameter suits a wide range of standard threaded fittings
• Black steel construction rated for gas, steam, air, and water service
• Standard threaded ends for connection to NPT-compatible fittings and valves
• 18.12-pound weight reflects solid, full-wall steel construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply pipe nipple for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water or air system completely before making any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded joints; hand-tight plus wrench-tight to specification is sufficient to achieve a leak-free seal without damaging threads.
