It is manufactured from black steel meeting ASTM A106B standards, providing the wall thickness required for higher-pressure piping applications. Seamless construction eliminates a weld seam, which reduces potential weak points in the pipe wall. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this type of nipple when connecting threaded pipe runs in gas, steam, or industrial piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where extra heavy wall thickness is specified. Common applications include natural gas branch connections, steam distribution lines, and industrial process piping. The 1\/4 inch diameter and 3 inch length make it appropriate for tight-space connections and short offset runs in both new construction and retrofit work. Its black steel finish is standard for non-potable gas and steam service, and is not intended for domestic water supply lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy (XH) wall construction for higher-pressure service compared to standard-weight nipples\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless pipe body per ASTM A106B — no weld seam to introduce stress concentration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel material compatible with natural gas and steam piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch x 3 inch dimensions for short-run threaded connections in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImport-sourced product suitable for non-domestic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded black steel piping systems using 1\/4 inch NPT connections in gas, steam, or industrial service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the IFGC for gas piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections on small-diameter fittings, as this can crack adjacent fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel (ASTM A106B)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Seamless Extra Heavy (XH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4354000440\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233191362866,"sku":"4354000440","price":20.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307632400.jpg?v=1780093705","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-4354000440-black-steel-xh-nipple-1-4x3","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
