Asc Engineered Solutions 830504940 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830504940 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch by 4-1/2 inches. It serves as a short threaded connector used to join pipe sections, fittings, or valves in gas, steam, and fluid piping systems. The extra heavy wall construction provides greater pressure capacity and durability compared to standard-weight nipples. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial piping assemblies where heavier-duty connections are required.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial piping installations involving gas distribution, steam lines, and other fluid-carrying systems. Its black steel construction makes it a common choice for natural gas and propane supply piping, as well as fire protection and industrial process lines. The 1/4 inch nominal size fits applications requiring smaller-diameter threaded connections in tight spaces or branch runs.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall thickness for higher-pressure service compared to standard nipples
• Black steel construction suited for gas, steam, and industrial fluid piping
• 1/4 inch nominal diameter by 4-1/2 inch length for precise fitment in threaded assemblies
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard pipe fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.20 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded black steel pipe systems using 1/4 inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the connection. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fittings for damage before assembly.
