Asc 831046602 Galvanized Nipple 3 in X 6 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831046602 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3 inches by 6 inches. It serves as a short threaded connector used to join sections of pipe or attach pipe fittings in a run. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, general plumbing, and light industrial piping systems. The nipple is threaded on both ends per standard NPT dimensions and is installed by plumbers and pipefitters working on ferrous pipe systems where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are required.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing applications where 3-inch galvanized steel pipe is specified. It is commonly used in water distribution, drain systems where galvanized pipe is already in place, and general-purpose industrial piping runs. Its 6-inch body length makes it suitable for close-coupling fittings with a short span between connection points. Plumbers working on replacement or extension runs in existing galvanized systems will find this size a common fit in standard rough-in work.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• 3-inch nominal pipe size with 6-inch overall length
• NPT-compatible threaded ends for standard pipe and fitting connections
• Weighs 3.08 pounds per unit, indicating heavy-wall construction consistent with schedule pipe
• Suitable for use in water supply and general plumbing piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for 3-inch galvanized steel pipe systems using NPT threaded fittings in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers working on galvanized steel pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Consult local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, for permitted use of galvanized fittings in potable water or drain applications.
