Asc 830504965 Black Steel Xh Nipple 1/4 in X 5 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830504965 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch by 5 inches. This close-tolerance nipple provides a threaded connection between pipe sections in gas, air, and compatible fluid piping systems. The extra heavy wall construction delivers greater pressure tolerance compared to standard weight fittings. At 0.22 pounds, it is a compact fitting suited for tight installations where a reliable, rigid threaded connection is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians typically specify extra heavy nipples in commercial and industrial piping runs where added wall thickness is warranted.

This nipple is intended for use in piping assemblies requiring 1/4 inch threaded fittings. It is commonly installed in gas distribution headers, compressed air systems, steam lines, and hydronic heating piping. The black steel construction makes it compatible with non-potable applications. It is not recommended for potable water service. Typical installation environments include mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and rooftop HVAC equipment where black steel piping is the standard material of choice.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure capacity over standard weight nipples
• Black steel material suitable for gas, air, steam, and non-potable fluid service
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 5 inch length for versatile installation spacing
• NPT threaded ends for compatibility with standard black steel pipe fittings
• Lightweight at 0.22 pounds, easing handling in close-quarter installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4 inch NPT black steel piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not use this fitting in potable water supply lines.
