Asc Engineered Solutions 4354000420 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 4354000420 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch by 2 inches. Manufactured from A106B carbon steel, this nipple is designed for use in high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems where standard-weight fittings are not sufficient. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under stress. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in gas distribution, steam, and industrial process piping applications where a reliable threaded connection between pipe sections is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping installations that demand extra heavy wall thickness for added durability. It is commonly used in gas piping, steam lines, and hydraulic systems where code or engineering specifications call for XH-rated components. The 1/4 inch by 2 inch sizing makes it a practical close nipple for tight-clearance connections in manifolds, valves, and threaded pipe assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically handle installation in systems subject to elevated pressures or temperatures.

Key Features

• Seamless extra heavy (XH) wall construction for use in high-pressure piping systems
• Black steel A106B carbon steel material for strength in gas, steam, and process applications
• 1/4 inch by 2 inch dimensions suit tight-clearance threaded connections
• Seamless tube eliminates weld seams, reducing stress concentration points
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection to valves, fittings, and pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded black steel pipe assemblies requiring 1/4 inch extra heavy nipples in gas, steam, or industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples in gas or steam systems should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the IFGC and ASME B31 standards where relevant. Shut off all gas supply or depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before making up connections. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
