Asc Engineered Solutions 830011607 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830011607 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe systems across plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length, this close-tolerance nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and other pipe components. Weighing 0.27 pounds, it is a compact fitting suited for tight spaces where a short, rigid connection is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of low-pressure gas, steam, water, and general-purpose piping systems that call for black iron or black steel components.

This black steel nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations where threaded black iron pipe is the specified material. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and industrial process piping. The 3/8 inch size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves of the same nominal diameter, making it a straightforward replacement or extension component in existing threaded systems. It is not intended for use in potable water supply lines where corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and mechanical piping systems
• 3/8 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT-compatible threading
• 5-1/2 inch length provides a short rigid extension between threaded fittings
• Lightweight at 0.27 pounds for easy handling and installation in confined spaces
• Import-sourced fitting meeting standard pipe nipple dimensional requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for threaded black steel pipe systems using 3/8 inch nominal NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, or IPC requirements for mechanical systems. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
