Asc Engineered Solutions 830514006 Black Steel Close Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830514006 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) close nipple used in threaded pipe assemblies for gas, steam, and industrial fluid systems. A close nipple is fully threaded end-to-end, measuring 1-1/8 inches in overall length with a 1/2-inch pipe thread size. The black steel construction provides higher wall thickness than standard weight fittings, making it suited for higher-pressure applications. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians wherever a minimal-length threaded connection is required between two fittings or valves.

Close nipples like the 830514006 are commonly used in residential and light commercial gas piping, steam systems, and compressed air lines. The fully threaded design allows it to join two female-threaded components directly with no exposed unthreaded pipe between them. Typical install scenarios include connecting valves, unions, tees, and elbows in tight spaces where a longer nipple would not fit.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch pipe thread size fits standard 1/2-inch NPT fittings and valves
• 1-1/8-inch overall length close-pattern, fully threaded end-to-end
• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for higher-pressure service
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, and industrial fluid service
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds for easy handling and inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for threaded 1/2-inch NPT pipe systems in gas, steam, and industrial fluid applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Because close nipples are fully threaded, use a pipe wrench carefully to avoid damaging the threads or cracking adjacent fittings.
