Asc 831028204 Galvanized Close Nipple 1-1/4 in X Close

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 831028204 is a galvanized steel close nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches by close, with an overall length of 1-5/8 inches. A close nipple is a short threaded pipe fitting with male NPT threads on both ends and no unthreaded center, used to connect two female-threaded fittings with minimal spacing between them. This fitting is constructed from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors in both residential and commercial applications.

This close nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, compressed air distribution, and low-pressure gas piping where a tight, compact threaded connection is required. Its 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size makes it a common choice for branch connections and equipment tie-ins in commercial and light industrial plumbing systems. The galvanized finish adds service life in environments where bare steel would be subject to corrosion from moisture exposure.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• Close nipple configuration with no unthreaded center for minimal face-to-face spacing
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 1-5/8 inch overall length
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation close nipple for 1-1/4 inch female NPT threaded fittings in plumbing, hydronic, and general piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the threads on mating fittings.
