Asc Engineered Solutions 830042404 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830042404 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 2.5 inches in diameter by 5.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in a piping system. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, making it well suited for gas distribution, fire suppression, and industrial piping applications where corrosion protection from galvanizing is not required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers. At 2.15 pounds, this is a solid, commercial-weight fitting built for demanding trade use.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and commercial mechanical systems including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam piping, and low-pressure air lines. The black steel construction is a standard choice for gas piping per IFGC and NFPA 54 requirements. It connects to standard threaded black steel pipe fittings, valves, and couplings of the same nominal size in both new construction and retrofit installations.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and industrial piping applications
• 2.5 inches nominal diameter provides high flow capacity for main and branch lines
• 5.5 inch length fills standard close-to-short nipple spacing requirements
• Threaded ends for connection to standard black steel fittings and valves
• Import-sourced fitting at 2.15 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-threaded black steel pipe nipple for use with compatible 2.5 inch nominal black steel pipe fittings, couplings, and valves in gas, steam, and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and NFPA 54 for gas piping applications. Shut off and verify isolation of the gas or fluid supply before beginning any pipe work. Use an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium on all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; follow standard trade practice for wrench makeup on steel pipe.
