Asc 4354000820 Black Steel Xh Nipple 3/8 in X 2 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 4354000820 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch nominal diameter by 2 inches in length. Manufactured to ASTM A106 Grade B standards, this close-cut nipple is produced from seamless steel pipe, meaning no longitudinal weld seam is present. The extra heavy wall designation provides greater pressure capacity compared to standard schedule fittings, making it suitable for demanding piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a short connecting section between threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections in black iron piping assemblies.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and commercial gas piping, steam, and high-pressure fluid systems where a short threaded connection is required. The 3/8 inch by 2 inch dimension fits common branch connections, valve installations, and close-coupled piping configurations. It is an import product intended for general trade supply applications where ASTM A106B seamless construction is specified.

Key Features

• ASTM A106 Grade B seamless construction — no weld seam for uniform wall integrity
• Extra heavy (XH) wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to standard schedule fittings
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, and non-potable fluid piping
• 3/8 inch nominal diameter with NPT-compatible threaded ends
• Compact 2 inch length for tight-space or close-coupled installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fitting for threaded black iron piping systems using 3/8 inch nominal pipe connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC and IPC requirements for threaded pipe connections. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage the fitting or adjoining valve seats.
