Asc Engineered Solutions 4354001270 Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 4354001270 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch x 4-1/2 inches. Manufactured to ASTM A106B standards, this nipple is designed for use in high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems where standard-wall fittings are not adequate. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential leak points and improving pressure integrity. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple to make short pipe extensions or close connections between threaded fittings and valves in black iron pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for commercial and industrial plumbing, steam, gas distribution, and hydronic heating systems that require threaded black steel pipe components. Its extra heavy wall thickness makes it appropriate for elevated-pressure applications where standard or schedule 40 wall nipples would be undersized. The 1/2 inch diameter fits common branch and service line configurations found in both new construction and retrofit mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Seamless construction per ASTM A106B for consistent wall integrity under pressure
• Extra heavy (XH) wall thickness for elevated-pressure service
• Black steel material compatible with threaded black iron pipe systems
• 1/2 inch x 4-1/2 inch dimensions for short-run extensions and close nipple applications
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connections to fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock fitting for threaded black steel pipe systems using 1/2 inch NPT connections in commercial and industrial plumbing and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required by the system type. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use a pipe wrench and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium. Inspect threads for damage before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint.
