Asc 830032603 Black Steel Close Nipple 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830032603 is a black steel close nipple sized at 1-1/2 inches with a close length of 1-3/4 inches. Close nipples are fully threaded pipe fittings used to join two female-threaded fittings with minimal gap between them. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, making it suitable for gas piping, compressed air, and industrial fluid systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install close nipples during new construction and retrofit work where compact connections are required between valves, unions, and other fittings.

This close nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a tight, fully threaded connection is needed. Common applications include natural gas and propane supply lines, steam systems, and general industrial piping where black steel is the specified material. The short overall length of 1-3/4 inches makes it appropriate for installations where space between fittings is limited and a standard hex nipple would not fit.

Key Features

• Fully threaded close nipple — no unthreaded center, minimizing the gap between connected fittings
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with a 1-3/4 inch overall close length
• Black steel construction suited for gas, steam, and compressed air service
• Lightweight at 0.26 pounds per unit for easy handling during installation
• Import origin fitting for cost-effective use in high-volume projects

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation close nipple for 1-1/2 inch NPT female-threaded fittings in black steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes and IFGC requirements when used in gas service. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not over-tighten, as black steel threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
