Asc 4354002060 Black Steel Xh Nipple 1 in X 4.5 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 4354002060 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1 inch by 4.5 inches. Extra heavy wall construction provides greater pressure capacity and mechanical strength compared to standard-weight nipples, making this fitting well-suited for demanding piping applications. The black steel material is appropriate for gas, steam, and hydronic systems where corrosion protection from coatings is applied downstream or where black iron is code-specified. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installing trades for this type of fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a short threaded pipe extension is required between fittings, valves, or equipment. Common install scenarios include gas supply lines, steam distribution piping, and industrial process piping where extra heavy wall thickness is specified by design or code. At 1 inch nominal diameter and 4.5 inches in length, it suits close-quarters connections in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall seamless construction for higher pressure and strength ratings
• Black steel material compatible with gas, steam, and hydronic piping systems
• 1 inch nominal diameter by 4.5 inch length for short-run threaded connections
• Seamless pipe body eliminates weld seam, reducing potential weak points under pressure
• Import product meeting A106B seamless pipe specification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1 inch threaded black steel piping systems requiring extra heavy wall nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or listed pipe compound rated for the intended service fluid before making up the joint. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fittings for damage before installation.
