Asc Engineered Solutions 830046009 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830046009 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in gas, steam, and industrial piping systems. It measures 3 inches in diameter by 4.5 inches in length, providing a short, rigid connection between fittings, valves, or other threaded components. At 2.13 pounds, the fitting is built from black steel, which is standard for natural gas and propane distribution lines as well as steam and compressed air applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of component.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a short-run threaded connection is required. Common applications include gas supply lines, boiler piping, steam distribution, and industrial fluid systems. The black steel construction makes it appropriate for non-corrosive media in above-ground and accessible piping configurations where a galvanized or stainless finish is not specified.

Key Features

• 3-inch nominal diameter with 4.5-inch overall length for short-run connections

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media to all male threads before makeup. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, and verify for leaks after restoring service pressure.
