Asc Engineered Solutions 830509600 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830509600 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch by 6 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, which is standard for gas distribution, steam, and industrial piping systems. The extra heavy wall rating provides greater pressure tolerance and mechanical strength compared to standard weight nipple stock. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install nipples like this as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and commercial systems.

This nipple is suited for use in gas piping, steam lines, and general-purpose industrial pipe systems where a 3/8-inch threaded connection and a 6-inch length are required. The black steel construction makes it a common choice in natural gas and propane distribution piping, as well as in fire suppression and low-pressure steam applications. It is not intended for potable water service. Import-sourced, this nipple meets dimensional standards for threaded pipe fittings.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure tolerance and durability
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, and industrial pipe systems
• 3/8-inch male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded connections
• 6-inch lay length for precise spacing between fittings or valves
• Compact and lightweight at 0.35 pounds per unit

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate. Shut off gas supply or depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not use this black steel nipple in potable water systems.
