Asc Engineered Solutions 830045605 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830045605 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, air, and industrial fluid piping systems. Measuring 3 inches by 3-1/2 inches, this close-pattern nipple provides a short, rigid threaded connection between fittings, valves, or pipe runs. Constructed from black steel, it is suited for use in natural gas, propane, and compressed air applications where corrosion from standing water is not a primary concern. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during rough-in and service work on low-pressure piping systems.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping applications, particularly in gas supply lines serving furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and similar appliances. The 3-inch nominal size and 3-1/2-inch overall length make it appropriate for close-quarter installations where a full-length pipe section would be impractical. It is also used in industrial compressed air headers and general-purpose black iron pipe systems.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, air, and industrial fluid service
• 3 inches nominal diameter with 3-1/2 inches overall length for compact installations
• Threaded ends for connection to standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings
• Import product — suitable for general commercial and residential piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black steel pipe nipple for use in residential and commercial gas, air, and industrial fluid piping systems accepting 3-inch nominal black iron pipe connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where required. Shut off and bleed the gas or fluid supply before making any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
