Coda Resources bp-12x10 Black Pipe Nipple 1/2 in 10 in

Product Description

The CODA RESOURCES bp-12x10 is a black steel pipe nipple with a nominal pipe size of 1/2 inch and a length of 10 inches. Black pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in gas and liquid piping systems. The black iron finish makes this nipple well suited for natural gas, propane, and steam applications where galvanized coatings are not appropriate. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these components as part of gas supply lines and mechanical system roughins.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial piping installations. Common applications include gas appliance connections, boiler supply lines, and general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies. The 1/2 inch nominal size is one of the most frequently specified sizes in residential gas distribution. The 10-inch length suits installations that require a longer reach between fittings or valves without adding a coupling.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size for standard residential and commercial gas piping
• 10-inch length provides extended reach in pipe assemblies
• Black steel construction suited for gas, steam, and non-potable water service
• Externally threaded ends for connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Not rated for DWV (drain, waste, vent) applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation component for 1/2 inch NPT black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial gas and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Black pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians working on gas or mechanical piping systems. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the line before beginning any work. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded connections. Work must comply with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where adopted.
