Asc Engineered Solutions 830509485 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830509485 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, steam, and industrial piping systems. Sized at 3/8 inch by 3 inches, this close-tolerance fitting is manufactured from black steel and is designed for use where standard-weight fittings are not rated for the application. At 0.18 pounds, it is a compact, high-wall-thickness fitting suitable for high-pressure or high-temperature service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians encounter this fitting in gas piping and boiler connections.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, steam piping, and industrial process lines. The 3/8 inch size is typical for branch connections, boiler trim lines, and gas appliance supply runs where extra heavy wall construction is specified. It is an import-sourced fitting, appropriate for non-critical piping runs where domestic certification is not required by the authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall thickness for higher pressure and temperature service compared to standard-weight nipples
• Black steel construction resists mechanical stress in gas and steam applications
• 3/8 inch by 3 inch sizing fits common branch and appliance supply connections
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.18 pounds, easing handling in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded black steel piping systems using 3/8 inch NPT connections in gas, steam, or industrial service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench to avoid stressing adjacent fittings.
