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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully threaded close nipple design allows minimal clearance between two fittings or valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction suitable for gas, steam, compressed air, and hydronic piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra-heavy wall rating provides additional strength for higher-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch pipe size with 1 inch overall length for compact installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard close nipple replacement for 3\/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch x Close (1 inch overall length)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 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: 830509402\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233560363314,"sku":"0830509402","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307631985.jpg?v=1780103207","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-830509402-black-steel-close-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
