Asc Engineered Solutions 830514188 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830514188 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. The extra heavy wall designation provides greater pressure capacity and durability compared to standard-weight nipples. Manufactured from black steel, this nipple is well suited for gas, air, and other non-corrosive fluid service. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is a common component in gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and mechanical systems where a short close-coupled threaded connection is required. The 1/2 inch size fits standard half-inch pipe fittings and valves used throughout residential and light commercial mechanical systems. The 5-1/2 inch length provides enough extension to clear flanges, housings, or structural members in tight installation scenarios.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for higher pressure and durability
• Black steel material suitable for gas, air, and non-corrosive service
• 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inch dimensions for standard pipe fitting connections
• Threaded ends for direct connection to compatible fittings and valves
• Compact nipple form factor for close-coupled or offset piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement nipple for 1/2 inch black steel piping systems in gas, air, and general mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

Black steel pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians following applicable code requirements such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded components. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not over-tighten connections.
