Asc 830504866 Black Steel Xh Nipple 1/4 in X 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830504866 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch by 2-1/2 inches. It serves as a short threaded connector used to join pipe sections, valves, or fittings within a piping assembly. The extra heavy wall designation provides greater pressure tolerance and durability compared to standard schedule fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these nipples in gas, steam, and water distribution systems where a reliable, close-coupled threaded connection is required. The black steel construction makes it well suited for gas and steam service where galvanized coatings are not permitted or preferred.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping applications, including natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and industrial process piping. The 1/4 inch thread size fits smaller branch lines and instrument connections commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and gas train assemblies. It is an import product intended for use where non-domestic sourcing is acceptable per project specifications.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure capacity over standard fittings
• Black steel material suited for gas and steam service
• 1/4 inch NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded connections
• 2-1/2 inch overall length for close-coupled installations
• Lightweight at 0.10 pounds per piece for easy handling in quantity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stocking nipple for 1/4 inch threaded black steel piping systems, compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves of the same thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not over-tighten, as excess torque can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
