Asc Engineered Solutions 4354003220 Black Steel Nipple 2x3 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 4354003220 is a black steel seamless extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 2 inches by 3 inches. Manufactured to ASTM A106B standards, this nipple delivers the wall thickness and pressure rating demanded by high-pressure steam, gas, and fluid piping systems. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points in demanding service conditions. Rated for extra heavy service, it is suited for industrial and commercial mechanical piping where standard-weight fittings are insufficient. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically specify and install this component in process, HVAC, and utility piping assemblies.

This nipple is used in commercial and industrial piping systems requiring robust black steel fittings. Typical applications include steam distribution lines, gas supply piping, hydronic heating headers, and compressed air systems. The 2-inch by 3-inch close nipple format makes it a practical solution for connecting valves, flanges, or fittings with minimal offset. Its extra heavy wall thickness accommodates higher system pressures and provides additional thread engagement depth compared to standard-weight nipples.

Key Features

• Seamless construction to ASTM A106B specification eliminates longitudinal weld seams
• Extra heavy (XH) wall thickness for elevated pressure and high-temperature service
• Black steel material suitable for steam, gas, and hydronic fluid service
• 2 inch by 3 inch size for precise close-offset piping connections
• Nondomestic import product clearly identified for procurement compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring extra heavy wall black steel nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Isolate and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
