Black steel nipples are a standard fitting for low-pressure gas distribution and hydronic heating lines where corrosion resistance from galvanizing is not required. This nipple is imported and manufactured from black steel, providing solid mechanical strength for standard threaded pipe assemblies. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of routine piping rough-in and system assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam lines, and hydronic heating systems. The 2-inch diameter accommodates higher-flow runs where smaller fittings would create unacceptable pressure drop. At 5-1\/2 inches in length, it provides a short extension between two threaded pipe connections, making it useful for close-quarter piping layouts where a longer nipple or field-cut pipe is impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction suited for gas, oil, and hydronic piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch by 5-1\/2-inch dimensions for standard pipe fitting assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 1.52 pounds, consistent with full-weight steel construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImport-sourced fitting for general commercial and residential piping use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 2-inch threaded black steel piping systems in residential and commercial gas, hydronic, and industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the IFGC and IPC. Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage the fitting or adjacent pipe threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches x 5-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.52 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 830038402\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233961673010,"sku":"0830038402","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307628250.jpg?v=1780113264","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-830038402-black-steel-nipple-2x5-5in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
