Asc Engineered Solutions 4354000800 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 4354000800 is a black steel seamless extra heavy close nipple sized at 3/8 inch with an overall length of 1 inch. Manufactured to ASTM A106B standards, it is machined from seamless steel stock and rated for extra heavy service, making it suitable for high-pressure piping systems where standard-weight fittings are not adequate. The close nipple configuration means the threaded ends meet with little or no unthreaded barrel between them. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas, steam, and industrial fluid piping assemblies.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping applications where a short, rigid connection is needed between two threaded fittings or threaded ports. Typical installations include gas supply headers, steam distribution manifolds, boiler trim piping, and mechanical room pipe runs. The extra heavy wall thickness supports elevated pressure ratings beyond those of standard Schedule 40 fittings, making it a practical choice wherever the system design calls for heavier wall material.

Key Features

• Black steel construction per ASTM A106B for compatibility with gas, steam, and hydronic systems
• Seamless extra heavy wall construction for elevated pressure service
• Close nipple design: 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with 1 inch overall length
• Threaded both ends for standard NPT connections
• Compact form factor allows tight back-to-back fitting connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for 3/8 inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring extra heavy wall seamless black steel nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe thread compound rated for the media being carried. Do not over-torque the nipple, as excess force can crack fittings or damage threads on mating components.
