Sized at 3\/8 inch by 4-1\/2 inches, this nipple provides a short, rigid threaded extension between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. The black steel construction makes it a standard choice for gas distribution lines and low-pressure steam or air systems. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters as part of rough-in or service work on threaded iron pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where threaded black steel pipe is specified. Common uses include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, compressed air headers, and fire sprinkler system branch connections. The 3\/8 inch diameter fits standard schedule 40 threaded pipe configurations. Its 4-1\/2 inch length provides enough extension for tight-space installations where a longer pipe run is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction for compatibility with gas, air, and low-pressure steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threads on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-1\/2 inch overall length for short-run threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.20 pounds per unit for easy handling in volume installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 3\/8 inch threaded black steel pipe systems using NPT fittings, valves, and equipment connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and fuel gas codes, including the IFGC and IPC where applicable. Shut off gas or system pressure and verify zero pressure before disassembling existing pipe connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to prevent stress on downstream connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch x 4-1\/2 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: 0.20 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: 830011201\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233275052338,"sku":"0830011201","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307628248.jpg?v=1780095940","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-830011201-black-steel-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
