Asc Engineered Solutions 830046405 Black Steel Nipple 3x5.5in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830046405 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 3 inches x 5-1/2 inches, designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical systems. Black steel nipples serve as short threaded connectors between fittings, valves, and pipe sections, making them a standard component in gas piping, fire suppression, and industrial fluid systems. At 2.76 pounds, this is a solid, full-weight fitting suitable for demanding service environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working with black iron pipe systems.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial gas piping, steam systems, and non-potable fluid applications. The 3-inch diameter and 5-1/2-inch length make it well-suited for header assemblies, equipment connections, and riser configurations where a close or short nipple would fall short. Its black steel construction is the standard choice for natural gas and propane distribution lines as well as fire sprinkler mains where galvanized fittings are not specified.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and non-potable fluid systems
• 3 inches x 5-1/2 inches — threaded on both ends for standard NPT connections
• Solid 2.76-pound fitting weight consistent with full-body black iron pipe standards
• Import fitting sourced for use in non-domestic-restriction applications
• Compatible with standard black iron threaded fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded black steel pipe systems using 3-inch NPT connections in gas, steam, or mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the IFGC and IPC. Shut off and verify zero pressure on the gas or fluid supply before breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjoining fittings to avoid stressing valves or equipment flanges.
