Asc Engineered Solutions 830500369 Black Steel Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830500369 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch by 5 inches. This close-threaded fitting is used to connect sections of pipe in low-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems. The extra heavy wall designation means increased material thickness compared to standard schedule pipe nipples, making it suited for applications where additional strength or durability is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a short connecting piece between fittings, valves, and pipe runs in threaded piping assemblies.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas supply, and steam or hydronic heating piping where 1/8 inch threaded connections are required. The black steel construction makes it a common choice for natural gas and propane distribution lines, as well as low-pressure steam systems. It is not recommended for potable water service without confirming compliance with applicable local codes. This is an imported fitting.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction provides greater wall thickness than standard schedule nipples
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, and hydronic heating applications
• 1/8 inch by 5 inch dimensions for precise fit in threaded pipe assemblies
• Threaded ends for straightforward installation with standard NPT fittings
• Lightweight at 0.13 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement nipple for use in 1/8 inch NPT pipe systems, including gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating piping assemblies that require extra heavy wall fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, ensuring compatibility of the sealant with the intended service medium. All gas piping installations must comply with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements; pressure testing is required after any threaded joint is made up.
