Asc Engineered Solutions 830514162 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830514162 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple used to join threaded pipe sections in gas, steam, air, and industrial fluid piping systems. Sized at 1/2 inch by 5 inches, this close-tolerance nipple threads directly into standard fittings and valves. The black steel construction makes it suitable for non-potable applications including gas distribution lines and steam piping where galvanized coatings are not required. Weighing 0.42 pounds, it is a dense, solid piece without weld seams typical of XH-grade nipples. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on commercial and residential piping systems.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and commercial gas piping, steam heating systems, compressed air lines, and industrial fluid distribution. The extra heavy wall thickness provides added durability in higher-pressure or higher-temperature service conditions compared to standard-weight nipples. It is intended for use with black steel pipe and fittings in threaded connection applications where non-domestic sourcing is acceptable per project specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply approved thread sealant or pipe thread tape to male threads before make-up.
