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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch pipe thread size fits standard 1\/2-inch NPT fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/8-inch overall length close-pattern, fully threaded end-to-end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy (XH) wall construction for higher-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel material suitable for gas, steam, and industrial fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.08 pounds for easy handling and inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for threaded 1\/2-inch NPT pipe systems in gas, steam, and industrial fluid applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch x Close (1-1\/8 inches overall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT (National Pipe Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Weight Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy (XH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 830514006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233204240690,"sku":"0830514006","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307631998.jpg?v=1780094066","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-830514006-black-steel-close-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
