Asc 830028205 Black Steel Close Nipple 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830028205 is a black steel close nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. A close nipple consists of two threaded ends with minimal unthreaded center material, making it ideal for joining fittings directly together with minimal gap. The fitting measures 1-1/4 inches in pipe size with an overall length of approximately 1-5/8 inches. Weighing 0.21 pounds, this nipple is suited for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on low-pressure water, gas, or steam distribution lines where compact, tight connections are required.

This close nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping installations where space between fittings is limited. Common applications include gas distribution manifolds, boiler piping, and general plumbing rough-in work. The black steel construction makes it appropriate for natural gas and propane supply lines, as well as fire sprinkler system components, where black iron pipe is the standard specification. It is not recommended for potable water service without appropriate lining or coating.

Key Features

• Close-pattern nipple design connects fittings with minimal center gap
• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and non-potable water service
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 1-5/8 inch overall length
• Standard NPT threads for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or modifying any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as black steel close nipples have limited center material and can crack under excessive torque.
