Asc 830006805 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/4 in X 5 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830006805 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe segments in gas, air, and general industrial piping systems. Sized at 1/4 inch nominal pipe thread by 5 inches in length, this close-cut nipple provides a straight, rigid threaded connection between fittings, valves, or pipe runs. Weighing 0.16 pounds, it is a compact, durable fitting suited for installations where a short extension or offset between components is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly use black steel nipples of this type in low-pressure gas distribution, compressed air lines, and heating system piping.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications involving threaded black steel piping systems. Common uses include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, and steam or hydronic heating system connections where black steel is the specified or preferred material. It is not intended for potable water service. The 1/4 inch size suits branch lines, instrument taps, and secondary supply connections in a variety of mechanical system configurations.

Key Features

• Black steel construction provides durability in gas and industrial piping applications
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 5 inch overall length for short-run connections
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.16 pounds, reducing handling effort during installation
• Import product suitable for non-potable piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4 inch threaded black steel piping systems used in gas distribution, compressed air, and hydronic or steam heating applications.

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 systems, or ASME B31 piping standards for pressure applications. Shut off the gas supply or depressurize the system fully before disassembling or installing threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; follow standard hand-tight-plus-turns practice appropriate to the pipe size and material.
