Asc Engineered Solutions 830016408 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830016408 is a black steel close-pattern pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 6 inches. It serves as a short threaded connector used to join pipe sections, valves, fittings, or equipment within gas, oil, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from black steel, this nipple provides the strength and thread integrity required for pressure-bearing installations. At 0.40 pounds, it is a compact, dense component suited for both new construction and service replacement work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is well suited for residential and light commercial piping runs where a short, rigid threaded connector is required. Common applications include gas distribution lines, steam systems, air lines, and industrial fluid piping. The 1/2-inch nominal pipe size is among the most frequently used diameters in residential gas supply and mechanical room piping, making this fitting a standard stock item for trade professionals. It is imported and intended for non-domestic applications where country-of-origin restrictions do not apply.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local and national codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the line pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage fitting threads or connected equipment.
