Asc 830532065 Black Steel Xh Nipple 1-1/2 X 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830532065 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in a wide range of piping systems. This close-pattern nipple measures 1-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches and is manufactured from black steel, making it well-suited for gas, oil, and industrial fluid distribution lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of fitting where a short threaded connection is needed between two pipe ends or fittings. The extra heavy wall designation indicates thicker wall construction compared to standard weight nipples, providing added durability in higher-pressure or higher-stress applications.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and commercial piping installations including natural gas supply lines, steam systems, and industrial fluid transfer lines. The 1-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch size fits standard NPT threaded connections of that diameter. It is a practical choice for tight-clearance installations where a short nipple is required between fittings, valves, or equipment connections.

Key Features

• Black steel construction resists heat and suits gas and steam service applications
• Extra heavy (XH) wall provides greater strength compared to standard weight nipples
• 1-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch dimensions fit standard NPT threaded pipe systems
• Compact nipple length supports close-coupled fitting installations
• Weighs 0.65 pounds per unit for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement nipple for use in black steel pipe systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch extra heavy wall fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading the nipple into place. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads or cause fitting failure.
