Asc Engineered Solutions 830060406 Black Steel Close Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830060406 is a black steel close nipple used to create a minimal-length threaded connection between two female-threaded fittings in gas, oil, and industrial piping systems. At 6 inches with a close (3.125 inches) thread-to-thread configuration, it provides a compact, rigid joint with no exposed unthreaded shank. Black steel construction makes this nipple appropriate for gas distribution, steam, and other non-potable fluid systems where galvanized or copper fittings are not required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install these during new construction, retrofit work, and system repairs.

This close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping, hydronic heating distribution, compressed air lines, and industrial process piping where black steel is specified or code-required. The close configuration is commonly used in tight spaces where a standard-length nipple would not fit or where a direct coupling between two threaded components is needed. Verify local code requirements before installing in any gas or steam application.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for compatibility with gas, oil, steam, and industrial fluid systems
• Close nipple design provides minimum face-to-face length for tight-clearance installations
• 6-inch pipe size with 3.125-inch overall close length
• Threaded both ends for direct connection between female-threaded fittings or valves
• Weight of 3.19 pounds indicates heavy-wall, full-weight pipe stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for black steel threaded piping systems requiring a 6-inch close nipple connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fittings before assembly to ensure no cross-threading or damage is present.
