Asc Engineered Solutions 830043402 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830043402 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect sections of pipe in gas, oil, air, and industrial fluid distribution systems. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter by 8 inches in length, this threaded nipple is manufactured from black steel for durability in demanding mechanical and industrial environments. At 3.36 pounds, it is a solid, full-weight fitting suitable for use where iron or steel piping is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a standard close or extension connection between fittings, valves, and equipment.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial piping systems carrying natural gas, propane, compressed air, steam, or water where black steel pipe is specified. Common install scenarios include gas supply lines to furnaces, boilers, unit heaters, commercial cooking equipment, and industrial process piping. It is not rated for potable water service. This is an import fitting, not domestically manufactured, which is relevant for job sites or projects with domestic-content requirements.
