Asc Engineered Solutions 830001608 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830001608 is a black steel close-pattern pipe nipple measuring 1/8 inch in diameter by 4 inches in length. Black steel pipe nipples are threaded fittings used to connect sections of pipe in gas, oil, and industrial piping systems. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, which is well-suited for gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and similar non-potable fluid applications. At 0.07 pounds, it is a lightweight component designed for straightforward installation into standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping installations where a short, fixed-length threaded connector is required. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, propane systems, and industrial fluid transfer assemblies. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on gas and mechanical systems. The 1/8 inch size is common at appliance connections, pressure gauge ports, and branch takeoffs in low-pressure gas piping.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas and non-potable fluid piping
• 1/8 inch NPT thread size for use at gauge ports, valve inlets, and appliance connections
• 4 inch length provides a fixed standoff for branch connections and offset fittings
• Lightweight at 0.07 pounds for easy single-hand handling during installation
• Import product offering a cost-effective option for standard pipe assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-duty replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8 inch NPT-threaded pipe systems, including gas and mechanical piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local mechanical and fuel gas codes such as the IFGC and IPC. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure in the line before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a properly sized pipe wrench and back-up wrench to avoid stress on adjacent fittings.
