Fabricated from black steel, this nipple provides a durable, cost-effective connection point between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. Weighing 0.16 pounds, it is a compact component suited for tight-space installations where a short, fixed-length nipple is needed. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians typically install this type of fitting during rough-in work or system modifications requiring precise pipe spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial gas piping, compressed air lines, and black iron pipe systems. The 1\/8-inch nominal size makes it appropriate for low-flow branch connections, pilot gas lines, and instrumentation taps. It is installed using standard threaded pipe assembly practices and NPT-compatible fittings. The 8-inch length provides enough reach for offset connections or close-coupled fitting runs where a standard close or short nipple would not span the required distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction provides strength suitable for gas and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch nominal size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch length accommodates offset or extended close-coupled connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.16 pounds for easy single-handed handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImport product offering a practical option for standard threaded pipe applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard threaded replacement or new-installation nipple compatible with 1\/8-inch NPT fittings, valves, and pipe couplings used in black iron pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off gas or air supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten, as black steel threads can be damaged if excessive torque is applied without proper support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch x 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 830003208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233821655346,"sku":"0830003208","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307628082.jpg?v=1780109798","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-830003208-black-steel-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
