Asc Engineered Solutions 830216602 Black Steel Long Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830216602 is a black steel long nipple designed for threaded pipe connections in commercial and residential plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 18 inches in length, this long nipple bridges extended spacing between fittings or equipment where standard or close nipples fall short. Black steel construction makes it suitable for gas lines, steam, and air applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of threaded iron pipe assemblies.

This long nipple is used in residential and light commercial gas distribution, compressed air lines, and steam or hydronic heating systems where an extended threaded section is required between two female-threaded fittings or valves. The 1/2-inch size is among the most common in residential gas branch lines and low-pressure mechanical piping. Import origin should be noted for projects with domestic-content requirements.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, air, and non-potable fluid piping
• 1/2 inch diameter by 18 inch length provides extended reach between threaded connections
• Threaded both ends for standard NPT fitting compatibility
• Import designation noted for specification-sensitive or domestic-content projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement long nipple for 1/2-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in gas, steam, air, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Use appropriate thread sealant or listed pipe tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as black steel nipples can crack fittings if excessive force is applied.
