Asc Engineered Solutions 830500260 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830500260 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch x 2-1/2 inches. Pipe nipples are short lengths of pipe threaded on both ends, used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components. The black steel construction makes this nipple well suited for gas distribution, steam, and industrial piping applications. The extra heavy wall rating provides greater pressure capacity and added durability compared to standard weight nipples. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the typical installers of this type of fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a short threaded connection is required between components. Common applications include natural gas lines, propane systems, steam heating systems, and industrial fluid conveyance. The 1/8 inch size is frequently encountered in branch connections, instrumentation taps, and drip leg assemblies. This is an import fitting designated non-domestic.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC.
