Asc Engineered Solutions 830500344 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830500344 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch by 4-1/2 inches. This close-cut threaded fitting connects sections of pipe in gas, air, and general plumbing piping systems. The extra heavy wall rating makes it suitable for applications requiring greater pressure tolerance or added durability compared to standard weight nipples. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting as part of a larger threaded pipe assembly in residential, commercial, or light industrial settings.

This nipple is designed for use in threaded black steel piping systems, including natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, and non-potable fluid applications. Its 1/8-inch nominal pipe size suits branch connections, instrumentation ports, and small-diameter service runs. The black steel finish is appropriate for dry or gas service where a bare steel surface is acceptable. It is commonly used in furnace gas supply lines, boiler piping, and similar mechanical room installations.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure capacity over standard weight nipples
• Black steel material compatible with natural gas and compressed air service
• 1/8 inch nominal pipe size with 4-1/2 inch length for close-run connections
• Threaded ends for tool-free assembly with standard NPT fittings
• Lightweight at 0.12 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8-inch NPT threaded black steel piping systems in gas and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements, and ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off gas or system pressure and verify zero pressure before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench and backup wrench technique to avoid stress on adjacent fittings.
