Asc Engineered Solutions 830016002 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830016002 is a black steel close pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 5 inches. This threaded nipple is used to connect sections of pipe in gas, air, and industrial piping systems. Made from black steel, it provides solid, reliable performance in applications where corrosion from the fitting material itself is not a primary concern. Weighing 0.33 pounds, the fitting is compact and straightforward to handle on the job. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple as part of fuel gas distribution, steam, or general piping assemblies.

This nipple fits into residential and light commercial piping installations where a short threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. The 1/2 inch nominal size suits branch lines, appliance drops, and similar low-diameter runs. It is commonly used in natural gas and propane distribution lines, compressed air systems, and other industrial fluid transport applications where black steel pipe fittings are the specified material.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on application. Shut off gas or air supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading the nipple into place. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage threads on the mating fitting.
