Bmi Usa 10989 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 10989 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for single-run piping applications in residential and commercial plumbing and gas distribution systems. Manufactured from steel with a black finish, this nipple measures 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, making it a standard close-cut fitting for connecting threaded pipe sections. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas lines, black iron pipe systems, and general fluid-conveyance assemblies. The black finish is typical for gas piping applications and provides a degree of surface protection during handling and storage.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in low-pressure gas supply lines, heating system piping, and general black iron pipe runs where a short 2-inch threaded coupling is required. It fits into any standard NPT threaded pipe system of the matching diameter. Contractors commonly use nipples of this type when assembling manifolds, connecting valves, or tying into existing black iron distribution lines in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suited for gas and general-purpose piping
• 2-inch diameter, 6-inch length for standard single-run connections
• Black finish consistent with gas distribution piping requirements
• Threaded ends for NPT-compatible assembly without special tooling
• Solid steel material for durability in pressurized pipe systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock fitting for 2-inch NPT black iron pipe systems used in gas distribution and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable to the installation type. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe-thread compound rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench and follow standard trade practice for the pipe diameter.
