Asc Engineered Solutions 830509402 Black Steel Close Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830509402 is a black steel extra-heavy close nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. A close nipple is fully threaded end-to-end with no unthreaded center, making it the right choice when two fittings must be joined with minimal spacing between them. This 3/8 inch fitting ships at approximately 0.05 pounds and is sourced as an import product. It is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working with black iron pipe systems in commercial and residential applications.

This close nipple is sized at 3/8 inch and measures 1 inch in overall length, fully threaded from end to end. It is suited for use in gas distribution piping, steam lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose threaded pipe runs where a tight-coupled connection is required. The extra-heavy wall construction makes it appropriate for higher-pressure applications compared to standard-weight nipples. Plumbers and pipefitters working with black iron pipe will find this fitting fits standard NPT thread patterns commonly used in domestic piping installations.

Key Features

• Fully threaded close nipple design allows minimal clearance between two fittings or valves
• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, compressed air, and hydronic piping systems
• Extra-heavy wall rating provides additional strength for higher-pressure service
• 3/8 inch pipe size with 1 inch overall length for compact installations
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard close nipple replacement for 3/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems. Compatible with standard black iron pipe fittings, valves, and couplings using NPT thread patterns in plumbing and mechanical piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IFGC requirements when used in gas piping. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings.
