Asc 830504908 Black Steel Xh Nipple 1/4 in X 3.5 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830504908 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, air, and industrial piping systems. Sized at 1/4 inch by 3.5 inches, this close-tolerance nipple is manufactured from black steel for strength and durability in demanding applications. The extra heavy wall designation means greater wall thickness than standard-weight fittings, making it suitable for higher-pressure service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a short connecting run between fittings, valves, or equipment ports.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where a short threaded connection is required. Common installations include gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and industrial fluid systems. The 1/4 inch size fits smaller branch lines and equipment connections. Its black steel construction makes it appropriate for gas piping where black iron or steel pipe is the standard material of choice.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for higher-pressure service than standard-weight nipples
• Black steel material provides strength suited for gas and air piping applications
• 1/4 inch by 3.5 inch dimensions for precise fit in close-clearance installations
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for 1/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems using black steel pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off gas or air supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
