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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose pattern — fully threaded body with no center unthreaded section for minimal fitting-to-fitting clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure rating over standard weight fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel material suitable for gas, steam, compressed air, and non-potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch nominal pipe size at 7\/8 inch overall installed length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImport-sourced fitting for cost-effective inventory stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch x Close (7\/8 inch overall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Weight Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy (XH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 830504809\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233946206514,"sku":"0830504809","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307631974.jpg?v=1780112833","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-830504809-black-steel-close-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
