Asc 830505004 Black Steel Xh Nipple 1/4 in X 6 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830505004 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch by 6 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or pipes in a run. The extra heavy wall designation means the pipe wall is thicker than standard weight, making this nipple suited for higher-pressure or higher-stress piping applications. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas distribution, steam, compressed air, or industrial fluid systems where added wall strength is required.

This nipple fits into residential and light commercial piping systems that call for a 1/4 inch threaded connection with a 6 inch center-to-end length. The extra heavy schedule is specified when standard weight fittings are insufficient for the operating conditions. It is threaded on both ends per standard NPT practice, allowing it to thread directly into fittings, valves, unions, and pipe couplings. Installers working on natural gas branch lines, steam condensate returns, or compressed air drops will find this a common replacement or new-construction component.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for added pressure capacity over standard weight nipples
• Black steel material suits gas, steam, and industrial fluid piping
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 6 inch overall length
• NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded fitting connections
• Compact size fits tight branch and drop locations in piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 1/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems using extra heavy schedule black steel components.

Installation Notes

This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into fittings. Installations on gas piping must comply with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC).
