Asc 830033205 Black Steel Nipple 1.5 X 3 Inches

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830033205 is a black steel close nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. Measuring 1.5 inches by 3 inches, this nipple connects two female-threaded fittings or valves where a short, rigid extension is needed. Black steel construction makes it appropriate for gas distribution, steam, and other non-potable fluid applications. Licensed plumbers, gas fitters, and mechanical contractors regularly install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work. At 0.55 pounds, it is a compact component suited to tight-clearance runs where schedule-standard wall thickness is required.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where black steel is the specified material. Typical applications include natural gas and propane supply lines, steam heating systems, fire suppression rough-in, and industrial fluid transfer. It is not intended for potable water service. Installers use it to bridge short gaps between valves, unions, tees, and elbows in threaded black iron assemblies.

Key Features

• Black steel construction rated for gas, steam, and non-potable fluid service
• 1.5-inch nominal pipe size with 3-inch overall length for short-extension runs
• Threaded male ends on both sides for standard NPT fitting engagement
• Compact 0.55-pound weight simplifies handling in confined spaces
• Import-sourced fitting suitable for non-domestic application requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 1.5-inch NPT black iron pipe systems in gas, steam, and mechanical piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded joint. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or listed pipe-thread compound to male threads before makeup. Do not use this fitting in potable water or oxygen service.
