Asc Engineered Solutions 830514048 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830514048 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 2 inch. This close-tolerance threaded fitting connects sections of pipe in gas, air, and fluid distribution systems where standard-wall fittings are not sufficient. The extra heavy wall thickness provides added strength and durability in higher-demand applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work on piping systems requiring robust threaded connections.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where black steel construction is specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, compressed air systems, and general industrial fluid lines. The 1/2 inch by 2 inch dimensions make it a standard short nipple used to bridge fittings or valves in close-quarter piping runs. It is not intended for potable water service.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for added pressure tolerance compared to standard-weight nipples
• Black steel material suitable for gas, air, and non-potable fluid systems
• 1/2 inch by 2 inch nominal size for straightforward integration into standard threaded piping layouts
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to standard NPT fittings, valves, and pipe
• Lightweight at 0.16 pounds, easy to handle during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard NPT threaded black steel piping systems in gas, air, and industrial fluid distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not use this fitting in potable water or steam applications unless specifically rated and approved for such service.
