Asc 4354001300 Black Steel Xh Nipple 1/2 in X 6 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 4354001300 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 6 inches. It is manufactured to ASTM A106B specifications, meaning the steel tube is formed without a weld seam, producing a stronger, more uniform wall suited to high-pressure or high-temperature piping applications. The extra heavy wall rating provides greater burst and working pressure capacity compared to standard schedule 40 nipples. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in steam, gas, air, and hydraulic systems where wall integrity and durability under pressure are required.

This nipple is used in commercial and industrial piping systems as a close or short extension between threaded fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Its black steel finish is appropriate for gas distribution lines, steam systems, compressed air headers, and similar non-potable fluid applications. The seamless XH construction makes it a preferred choice in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and industrial process piping where pressure ratings and material traceability matter.

Key Features

• Seamless construction to ASTM A106B — no weld seam, consistent wall thickness throughout
• Extra heavy (XH) wall rating for elevated working pressure capacity
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, air, and non-potable fluid service
• 1/2 inch by 6 inch dimensions for standard threaded piping configurations
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring extra heavy wall seamless black steel nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC and ASME B31 standards where relevant. 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 medium — verify sealant compatibility with gas service if used on gas lines. Do not overtighten threaded connections; hand-tighten and then advance with a pipe wrench to the appropriate engagement depth per fitting size.
