Asc Engineered Solutions 830055208 Black Steel Nipple 4x8

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830055208 is a black steel close-pattern pipe nipple measuring 4 inches in diameter by 8 inches in length. Black steel pipe nipples are threaded fittings used to connect sections of pipe in gas distribution, steam, and industrial piping systems. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, which provides the wall strength and thread integrity required for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install fittings of this type when assembling or extending ferrous piping systems. At 6.17 pounds per piece, the fitting reflects the material content expected of a full-port, heavy-duty black steel nipple at this size.

This nipple is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where black steel pipe is specified, including natural gas supply lines, steam distribution headers, and general mechanical piping. The 4-inch nominal pipe size places this fitting in the range typically found in larger commercial HVAC, boiler room, and process piping applications rather than residential light-duty work. It is an import product and should be verified against project specifications or procurement requirements where domestic origin is mandated.

Key Features

• Black steel construction provides strength and compatibility with gas, steam, and industrial fluid service
• 4-inch nominal diameter by 8-inch length suits larger commercial and industrial piping configurations
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to standard NPT fittings, valves, and pipe couplings
• 6.17-pound unit weight reflects full-wall black steel material content
• Import product — verify origin requirements before use on projects with domestic-content specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 4-inch nominal black steel piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples in this size range is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code and ASME B31.1 or B31.3 where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not use black steel fittings on potable water systems without confirming local code acceptance.
