Asc 831011606 Galvanized Steel Nipple 3/8 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 831011606 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch by 6 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings or extend a pipe run within a plumbing, HVAC, or gas distribution system. This nipple is manufactured from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, compressed air, and low-pressure gas applications. At 0.30 pounds, it is a lightweight but durable component. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install nipples as part of routine system assembly, repair, or extension work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 3/8 inch threaded connection is required. Typical install scenarios include water supply branch lines, steam distribution systems, compressed air headers, and gas supply piping where short close or extension nipples are needed. The 6-inch length makes it suitable for bridging moderate gaps between threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports without requiring a union or coupling intermediate.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and low-pressure gas service
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 6-inch body length suits moderate extension and offset applications
• Lightweight at 0.30 pounds, simplifying handling during installation
• Import designation reflects non-domestic manufacturing origin

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded galvanized steel nipple for use with 3/8 inch threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the service fluid. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and hand-tighten before applying wrench torque. Ensure the system is fully depressurized and isolated before removing or installing any threaded pipe section. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
