Asc 4354001260 Black Steel Xh Nipple 1/2 in X 4 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 4354001260 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch x 4 inches. Manufactured to ASTM A106B standards, this nipple delivers the wall thickness required for high-pressure and high-temperature piping applications. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under stress. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple when connecting threaded pipe runs in gas, steam, or industrial fluid systems where standard-weight fittings are not rated for the service conditions.

This nipple is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where extra heavy schedule fittings are specified. Typical applications include steam distribution, compressed air headers, natural gas supply lines, and hydraulic fluid systems. The 1/2 inch x 4 inch size makes it a common close nipple extension between valves, fittings, and threaded equipment connections. It is imported and intended for non-domestic supply applications.

Key Features

• Seamless ASTM A106B construction eliminates weld-seam failure points
• Extra heavy (XH) wall thickness for elevated pressure and temperature service
• Black steel material compatible with gas, steam, and industrial fluid lines
• NPT-threaded ends for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Compact 4 inch length suitable for close-quarter fitting connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch threaded pipe systems requiring extra heavy schedule black steel nipples per ASTM A106B specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the IFGC or ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
