Asc Engineered Solutions 830504981 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830504981 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch by 5-1/2 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe segments used to connect two fittings, valves, or threaded pipe ends in a piping assembly. The extra heavy wall designation indicates greater wall thickness than standard weight pipe, providing added strength for higher-pressure or more demanding service conditions. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, making it appropriate for gas, oil, and industrial fluid distribution systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of fitting in both commercial and residential piping systems.

This black steel XH nipple is suited for use in gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating piping systems where a short threaded connector is required between two female-threaded components. Its compact 5-1/2 inch length makes it useful in tight-clearance installations. The 1/4 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves of the same size. This fitting is supplied as an import product.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure-handling capability
• Black steel material suitable for gas, oil, and steam service
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 5-1/2 inch overall length for short-run connections in tight spaces
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds per unit for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard NPT-threaded 1/4 inch piping systems in gas, steam, hydronic, and industrial fluid applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as relevant to the service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench and backup wrench to avoid stressing adjacent fittings.
