Cambridge Resources fmb12x18 Black Steel Pipe 0.5x18in

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES fmb12x18 is a black steel cut pipe sized at 0.5 inches by 18 inches, designed for gas distribution and plumbing piping systems in residential and light commercial applications. Manufactured to Type E, Grade A standards, this pipe conforms to ASTM A53 for material composition, dimensions, pipe threads, and weight, as well as ANSI B1.20.1 for thread specifications. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this pipe as part of threaded black iron piping systems. The consistent wall thickness and standardized threading make it a reliable component for code-compliant gas and fluid distribution runs.

This pipe is suited for use in natural gas and propane supply lines, as well as general plumbing piping where black steel is the specified material. Common installation scenarios include basement gas line rough-ins, furnace and boiler supply connections, and commercial kitchen gas distribution. The 18-inch cut length fits many pre-planned piping configurations without additional field cutting, reducing labor time on straightforward installations.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel gas pipe must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the meter or main valve before making any connections or modifications to the line. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant rated for gas service on all threaded joints. Pressure-test the completed assembly per local code requirements before returning the system to service.
