Asc Engineered Solutions 4354000480 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 4354000480 is a black steel seamless extra heavy pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch by 5 inches. Seamless construction eliminates the weld seam, reducing the risk of weak points under pressure. The extra heavy wall thickness provides greater durability compared to standard or schedule 40 nipples, making it suitable for demanding piping applications. This nipple is produced from black steel and is a nondomestic import product. It weighs 0.21 pounds per unit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting in gas, steam, or industrial fluid piping systems where a robust, reliable threaded connection is required.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and commercial piping systems where extra heavy wall nipples are specified. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, steam systems, and compressed air or hydraulic lines that require threaded pipe connections. The 1/4 inch diameter and 5 inch length make it suitable for close-quarter runs and branch connections where standard nipple sizes may not be adequate. It is installed inline between threaded fittings, valves, or pipe ends.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for uniform wall integrity and reduced failure risk
• Extra heavy wall thickness for added strength over standard schedule nipples
• Black steel material suited for gas, steam, and industrial fluid service
• 1/4 inch x 5 inch dimensions for threaded inline and branch piping runs
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds per unit for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for extra heavy threaded pipe assemblies in gas, steam, and industrial piping systems using 1/4 inch NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage the threads or fittings.
