Asc Engineered Solutions 830015806 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830015806 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inches. A pipe nipple is a short length of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other components in a piping system. This import-grade fitting is manufactured from black steel, making it suitable for gas, air, and other non-corrosive fluid applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly use black steel nipples when assembling or repairing pipe runs in residential and light commercial systems. Weighing 0.29 pounds, this nipple is easy to handle during overhead or tight-space installations.

This nipple is commonly used in natural gas distribution lines, propane systems, compressed air lines, and steam or hydronic heating systems. The 1/2-inch diameter and 4-1/2-inch length make it a practical choice for close-quarter connections where a longer run of pipe is not required but a standard close nipple is too short. It is a standard component in gas appliance hookups and mechanical room piping assemblies handled by licensed plumbers and gas fitters.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for 1/2-inch NPT piping systems in residential and light commercial gas, air, and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can damage threads and compromise the seal.
