Asc Engineered Solutions 830504809 Black Steel Close Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830504809 is a black steel close nipple in 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with an overall length of 7/8 inch. Close nipples have fully threaded bodies with no unthreaded center section, allowing two fittings to be joined with minimal gap between them. This nipple is manufactured to extra heavy (XH) wall specifications, providing greater pressure and mechanical durability compared to standard weight pipe fittings. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics in gas and liquid piping systems where a close-coupled connection is required.

This close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including gas supply lines, steam systems, compressed air, and water distribution piping where a black steel fitting is specified. The 1/4 inch size is common in branch connections, instrument ports, and low-flow service lines. The extra heavy wall construction makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service compared to standard schedule fittings.

Key Features

• Close pattern — fully threaded body with no center unthreaded section for minimal fitting-to-fitting clearance
• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure rating over standard weight fittings
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, compressed air, and non-potable water service
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size at 7/8 inch overall installed length
• Import-sourced fitting for cost-effective inventory stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fitting for 1/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring a close nipple connection in black steel extra heavy wall construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable code requirements including the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code as appropriate to the service. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting. Apply a thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten; use a properly sized pipe wrench and engage a sufficient number of threads per code.
