Asc Engineered Solutions 830509568 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830509568 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch by 5 inches. This close-tolerance threaded fitting connects sections of pipe in gas, air, and industrial fluid piping systems where additional wall thickness is required beyond standard schedule. The XH designation indicates heavier wall construction compared to standard-weight nipples, providing greater pressure capacity and mechanical durability. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple as a connector between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe runs in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping installations where 3/8 inch threaded connections are required. Typical applications include gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general-purpose plumbing assemblies. The 5-inch length makes it appropriate for short offset runs or close-clearance connections between valves and fittings. The black steel material is standard for natural gas and propane distribution piping.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure rating over standard-weight nipples
• Black steel material meets standard requirements for gas distribution piping
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with 5-inch overall length
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Import product suitable for general-purpose trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/8 inch NPT threaded piping systems in gas, air, and general fluid service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where required. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the connection. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not over-tighten, which can crack fittings downstream.
