Asc 830509428 Black Steel Xh Nipple 3/8 X 1-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830509428 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch by 1-1/2 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or threaded pipe ends in a piping assembly. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, making it suitable for gas, steam, and industrial fluid distribution systems where corrosion resistance from protective coatings is not required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install these components during new construction and retrofit work on commercial and residential piping systems.

This XH nipple is appropriate for applications demanding heavier wall thickness than standard-weight fittings. Typical installations include gas distribution manifolds, steam lines, industrial process piping, and mechanical room piping assemblies. The extra heavy wall rating provides additional durability in higher-pressure or higher-stress service conditions. It is imported and intended for professional trade installation in systems where black steel fittings are specified.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure handling compared to standard-weight nipples
• Black steel material suited for gas, steam, and non-potable fluid piping
• 3/8 inch by 1-1/2 inch nominal size for precise fitment in compatible threaded assemblies
• Compact, short-nipple form factor for tight-clearance connections between threaded components
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds per unit, reducing handling strain during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard trade fitting for use in threaded black steel piping systems requiring 3/8 inch extra heavy nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician 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 completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up threaded connections. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fittings for damage before assembly.
