Asc Engineered Solutions 4354000400 Steel Xh Nipple 1/4in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 4354000400 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) close nipple used in threaded pipe assemblies for gas, steam, and industrial fluid systems. Manufactured from A106B seamless black steel, it provides a durable, pressure-rated connection in close-coupled configurations where minimal thread-to-thread spacing is required. At 0.03 pounds and a fitting size of 1/4 inch by close (1 inch overall), this nipple is a compact fitting suited for tight spaces in both commercial and industrial installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where extra heavy wall thickness is specified.

This close nipple is appropriate for use in black iron pipe systems in commercial and industrial environments, including gas distribution, steam lines, and high-pressure fluid piping. The extra heavy wall designation makes it suitable for applications where standard-weight fittings do not meet system pressure or durability requirements. It is intended for threaded connections and is compatible with standard NPT pipe threads at 1/4 inch nominal size.

Key Features

• Seamless A106B black steel construction for reliable pressure-rated service
• Extra heavy (XH) wall thickness for demanding commercial and industrial applications
• Close nipple configuration minimizes spacing between threaded fittings
• 1/4 inch nominal size with 1 inch overall close length
• Nondomestic sourcing noted for project documentation and compliance tracking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4 inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems requiring extra heavy wall seamless nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical and fuel gas codes such as the IFGC and ASME B31 standards. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
