Asc Engineered Solutions 830500286 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830500286 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, air, and fluid piping systems. Sized at 1/8 inch by 3 inches, this close-cut nipple provides a short, rigid threaded extension between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. The black steel construction makes it a standard choice for natural gas and propane distribution lines where galvanized fittings are not required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple as part of branch connections, drop lines, and service piping assemblies. The extra heavy wall rating provides additional strength compared to standard schedule fittings.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 1/8 inch threaded connection is needed. Common uses include gas appliance supply lines, pneumatic systems, and low-pressure fluid distribution. It threads into standard NPT fittings and valves. The 3 inch length gives enough engagement for inline fitting installation without requiring a union or additional coupling in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for added pressure and mechanical strength
• Black steel material — standard for gas distribution piping
• 1/8 inch NPT threads on both ends
• 3 inch overall length for short-run connections
• Import product suitable for general trade use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement nipple for use in 1/8 inch black steel pipe assemblies in gas, air, and fluid service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing pipe nipples. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded connections. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or strip threads on smaller sizes.
