Asc 831041207 Galvanized Close Nipple 2-1/2 Inches

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 831041207 is a close nipple made from galvanized steel, sized at 2-1/2 inches. A close nipple is a short threaded pipe fitting used to join two female-threaded fittings with minimal spacing between them. This fitting is used in piping systems where a near-flush connection is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install close nipples during new construction, retrofit work, and repair jobs across residential and commercial applications. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to water supply and general plumbing piping systems.

This close nipple fits into piping assemblies that require a 2-1/2 inch threaded connection with no gap between fittings. It is appropriate for use in water supply lines, general-purpose plumbing distribution systems, and mechanical room piping where space between fittings is limited. This is an import product and is intended for applications where domestic-sourced material is not required by the project specification or contract.

Key Features

• Close nipple configuration allows two female-threaded fittings to be joined with minimal clearance
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in water service and general plumbing applications
• 2-1/2 inch fitting size fits standard NPT female-threaded connections of the same size
• Weighs 0.75 pounds per unit, a practical weight for field handling and installation
• Import designation noted for project compliance review where domestic sourcing is specified

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use close nipple for standard 2-1/2 inch NPT female-threaded pipe fittings in general plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Close nipples are installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack female fittings or distort threads.
