Asc Engineered Solutions 830509501 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830509501 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 x 3-1/2 inches, this close-tolerance nipple delivers the wall thickness required for higher-pressure applications where standard-weight fittings are not specified. The extra heavy designation indicates a heavier wall construction than Schedule 40, making it a common choice where code or system design calls for increased durability. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in commercial and industrial environments.

This nipple is suited for use in black steel piping systems including natural gas distribution, steam lines, and industrial fluid conveyance. Its 3/8 inch thread size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and pipe. The 3-1/2 inch length makes it appropriate for close-quarter connections where a longer run-pipe section is not practical. This is an import product, as noted in the product specifications.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for higher-pressure service
• Black steel material resists corrosion in dry gas and steam applications
• 3/8 inch NPT threaded ends for standard pipe compatibility
• 3-1/2 inch length suits close-quarter or short-run installations
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds for easy handling and staging

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard trade fitting for black steel threaded piping systems using 3/8 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before tightening. Do not over-torque threaded connections; bring fittings to hand-tight and finish with a pipe wrench using proper backup technique.
