Asc 4354003270 Black Steel Xh Pipe Nipple 2 in X 5.5 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 4354003270 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 2 inches by 5.5 inches. This close-tolerance nipple provides a threaded pipe extension or connection point in high-pressure or high-demand piping systems. Constructed from black steel to ASTM A106B specification, it delivers the wall thickness and strength required where standard-weight fittings are insufficient. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this component in gas, steam, and industrial fluid lines where extra heavy wall ratings are called out by system design or code.

This nipple is suited for commercial and industrial piping applications where schedule-equivalent extra heavy wall construction is required. Typical uses include gas distribution manifolds, steam headers, boiler connections, and mechanical room rough-in work. The non-domestic import designation applies to project specifications that permit non-domestic material sourcing. It is not intended for potable water service without verification of applicable local codes and material approvals.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for elevated pressure applications
• Seamless black steel tube stock per ASTM A106B specification
• 2-inch nominal pipe size with 5.5-inch overall length
• Black finish suitable for gas, steam, and non-corrosive fluid service
• Threaded ends for standard NPT fitting connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring extra heavy wall seamless 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 piping standards where relevant. Isolate and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and temperature. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fitting before assembly to avoid cross-threading or leaks.
