Asc 830004008 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/8 in X 10 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830004008 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch by 10 inches. It serves as a threaded connector used to join sections of pipe or to connect pipe to fittings, valves, and equipment in gas distribution, plumbing, and mechanical piping systems. The black steel construction makes it well suited for natural gas, propane, and steam lines where galvanized coatings are not required or specified. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple as part of standard threaded pipe assemblies.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial gas piping, hydronic heating systems, compressed air lines, and similar low-pressure threaded pipe applications. The 10-inch length provides a fixed offset between two threaded connections, making it useful for rough-in work, equipment drops, and short extension runs where a close or hex nipple is too short. It is not intended for potable water service.

Key Features

• Black steel construction resists scaling in gas and steam service
• 1/8 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT fittings of the same size
• 10-inch length provides a practical fixed offset for threaded pipe assemblies
• Threaded male ends on both sides for direct connection to NPT couplings, valves, or tees
• Lightweight at 0.20 pounds, easing handling in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black steel pipe nipple compatible with 1/8 inch nominal threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in gas, steam, and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, or IPC requirements for mechanical systems. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded component. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not use black steel nipples on potable water lines.
