Asc 830010609 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3/8 in X 3 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830010609 is a black steel close-pattern pipe nipple used to join threaded pipe sections in gas, air, and fluid distribution systems. Sized at 3/8 inch nominal diameter by 3 inches in length, it provides a short, rigid threaded connection between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Black steel construction makes it a standard choice for natural gas and propane distribution lines as well as low-pressure steam and air systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC installers reach for nipples like this daily when assembling or extending threaded iron pipe runs.

This nipple fits residential and light commercial applications where 3/8 inch threaded black iron pipe is specified. Typical uses include gas appliance drops, burner supply connections, air compressor distribution headers, and general-purpose pipe assembly. Its compact 3-inch length suits tight spaces where a longer run is not needed and a close nipple would still leave insufficient room for a wrench.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, air, and low-pressure fluid service
• 3/8 inch nominal diameter with 3-inch body length for short-run connections
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with common threaded fittings
• Lightweight at 0.14 pounds, minimizing load on delicate fitting assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement nipple for 3/8 inch black iron pipe systems using NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure before disassembling or extending any pipe run. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Use a properly sized pipe wrench and backup wrench to avoid stressing adjacent joints.
