Asc Engineered Solutions 830500245 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830500245 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch by 2 inches. This close-tolerance threaded fitting connects two female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections in low-pressure gas, air, or fluid piping systems. The extra heavy wall designation provides greater thickness than standard Schedule 40 nipples, making it a preferred choice in applications where added durability or higher pressure ratings are required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians install this type of nipple as a short connector in commercial and residential piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where 1/8 inch threaded connections are called for. Common install scenarios include gas appliance supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing rough-in work. The black steel material makes it appropriate for gas service where galvanized fittings are not permitted by local code. It is not intended for potable water service. This is an import fitting, not domestic manufacture.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for added strength over standard Schedule 40 nipples
• Black steel material compatible with natural gas and propane piping systems
• 1/8 inch NPT threaded ends on a 2 inch body length
• Compact size suitable for tight-clearance connections in manifolds and valve assemblies
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds per piece for easy handling and inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black steel pipe nipple for use with 1/8 inch female-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in gas and air piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before assembly. Pressure-test the completed assembly and inspect all joints for leaks before returning the system to service. Do not use black steel nipples in potable water or corrosive fluid applications.
