Asc Engineered Solutions 830043808 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830043808 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 2.5 inches by 9 inches, designed for use in threaded pipe systems across plumbing, HVAC, gas, and industrial applications. Black steel nipples serve as short pipe sections that connect two threaded fittings, valves, or other components. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, which is standard for gas piping and many non-potable fluid systems. It weighs 3.84 pounds and is imported. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of gas supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies.

This nipple fits into threaded pipe assemblies requiring a 2.5-inch nominal pipe size connection with a 9-inch overall length. It is suited for residential and commercial gas distribution, steam systems, and industrial piping where black steel is the specified material. The 9-inch length makes it a close-nipple alternative for applications needing a short but measurable standoff between fittings. Installers typically use it in conjunction with malleable iron or black steel fittings, unions, valves, and couplings.

Key Features

• Black steel construction rated for gas, steam, and general-purpose pipe systems
• 2.5-inch nominal pipe size matches standard NPT fittings and valves
• 9-inch length provides a defined standoff between threaded connections
• Threaded ends accept standard NPT fittings for straightforward assembly
• Weighs 3.84 pounds, consistent with full-wall black steel construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation black steel pipe nipple for 2.5-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in gas, steam, hydronic, and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Black steel pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians. Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading connections. All gas piping installations must comply with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC).
