Asc Engineered Solutions 830041208 Black Steel Close Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830041208 is a close nipple threaded pipe fitting machined from black steel. A close nipple is a short length of threaded pipe where the threads on each end meet in the middle, leaving no unthreaded surface between them. This configuration allows two female-threaded fittings to be joined with minimal gap between them. The fitting measures 2-1/2 inches in nominal pipe size and weighs 0.75 pounds. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in gas, industrial, and mechanical piping assemblies where a tight, compact connection between two threaded components is required.

This close nipple is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems that call for 2-1/2-inch black steel threaded fittings. Black steel pipe and fittings are commonly found in natural gas distribution lines, fire suppression systems, and compressed air and steam piping. The close configuration is used wherever two threaded fittings must be connected without spacing between them. This fitting is manufactured as an import product and is specified accordingly in procurement and materials documentation.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel threaded nipples is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before making any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before assembling the threads. Follow applicable code requirements under the IFGC or IPC for gas and pressure piping applications.
