Asc Engineered Solutions 4354001240 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 4354001240 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch x 3 inches. Manufactured to ASTM A106 Grade B standards, this nipple is designed for use in high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems where standard-wall fittings are insufficient. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under demanding service conditions. At 0.24 pounds, it is a compact fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in commercial and industrial piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for use in gas distribution lines, steam piping, hydraulic systems, and other applications requiring extra heavy wall thickness. The black steel finish and seamless A106B specification make it a common choice in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial process piping, and fire suppression systems where corrosion-resistant coatings or galvanizing are not required. It connects standard 1/2 inch threaded pipe fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Seamless construction per ASTM A106 Grade B for pressure-rated service
• Extra heavy (XH) wall thickness for high-pressure applications
• Black steel material for use in gas, steam, and hydraulic piping
• 1/2 inch x 3 inch sizing fits standard NPT threaded connections
• Compact 0.24-pound fitting for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 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 International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
