Asc Engineered Solutions 830017604 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830017604 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 9 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. This nipple is constructed from black steel, making it well suited for gas distribution, steam, and industrial piping systems where galvanized or plastic fittings are not appropriate. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians working on gas or steam lines. At 0.61 pounds, it is a compact, standard-duty fitting for commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is used in threaded pipe assemblies requiring a close or short extension between two connection points. The 1/2-inch diameter and 9-inch length fit standard pipe runs in residential gas supply lines, boiler connections, and light commercial piping systems. It is an imported fitting designed to meet common trade requirements for black steel threaded nipples in these configurations.

Installation Notes

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