Close nipples are threaded end-to-end with minimal or no unthreaded center, making them the right choice when two fittings or valves need to be joined with the shortest possible pipe segment. Manufactured from black steel to ASTM A106B seamless standards, this nipple is built for demanding pressure and temperature service in gas, steam, and industrial piping systems. It weighs 0.07 pounds per piece. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple is suited for residential and commercial gas distribution, steam lines, compressed air, and hydronic heating applications where a compact, rigid threaded connection is required. The extra-heavy wall thickness provides additional margin for high-pressure service compared to standard-weight nipples. It is commonly installed at burner manifolds, valve inlets, and equipment connections where space between threaded components is limited.

Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten close nipples, as the short thread engagement leaves little room for correction if threads are damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch x Close (1 inch overall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Seamless Extra Heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A106B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 pounds per EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4354001200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233316798770,"sku":"4354001200","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307628603.jpg?v=1780097181","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-4354001200-black-steel-xh-close-nipple-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
