Asc Engineered Solutions 4354001220 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 4354001220 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 2 inches, manufactured to ASTM A106B seamless standards in an extra heavy wall configuration. It is designed for use in gas, steam, and high-pressure fluid piping systems where standard-wall fittings are insufficient. The extra heavy classification means the wall is thicker than Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding industrial and mechanical applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians typically install this fitting as part of gas distribution, boiler, or steam piping assemblies.

This nipple fits residential and light commercial piping applications where 1/2 inch threaded connections are required. The seamless A106B construction makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service and elevated-temperature lines, including natural gas, propane, steam, and compressed air distribution. It is commonly installed at equipment connection points, manifolds, valve inlets, and branch takeoffs where a short close or standard-length threaded nipple is needed. The black steel finish is standard for gas piping installations per most local and national code requirements.

Key Features

• Extra heavy seamless wall construction for higher-pressure service compared to standard Schedule 40 nipples
• Black steel material compatible with gas, steam, and compressed air piping systems
• 1/2 inch by 2 inch dimensions suit tight-clearance connection points and short-run applications
• ASTM A106B seamless specification for consistent wall integrity and pressure rating
• Threaded ends allow direct makeup with standard NPT fittings, valves, and equipment connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use threaded nipple for black steel gas, steam, and fluid piping systems using 1/2 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply a code-approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before makeup. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as excessive force can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
