Asc Engineered Solutions 830010401 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830010401 is a black steel close nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, plumbing, and mechanical piping systems. Manufactured from black steel, this nipple measures 3/8 inch in diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length and weighs 0.11 pounds. It is a short-run threaded fitting intended for use wherever a compact, rigid pipe connection is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these fittings as part of gas distribution lines, steam systems, and general fluid conveyance applications. The black steel construction makes it a common choice for natural gas and propane lines where galvanized fittings are not specified.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations. It fits into standard NPT threaded systems and is commonly used in gas supply lines, boiler piping, and other ferrous pipe assemblies. The 3/8 inch by 2-1/2 inch size works well in confined spaces where a short transition between fittings or valves is needed. This is an import product and is not domestic manufactured.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and mechanical piping
• 3/8 inch x 2-1/2 inch dimensions for compact threaded connections
• Standard NPT threading for compatibility with common pipe fittings
• Lightweight at 0.11 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use in 3/8 inch NPT threaded ferrous pipe systems, including gas and mechanical piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the pipe section before threading or replacing any nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant rated for the intended service medium before making up the connection. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as black steel fittings can crack if forced.
