Asc Engineered Solutions 830527602 Black Steel Close Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830527602 is a black steel close nipple in extra heavy (XH) wall weight, sized at 1-1/4 inches with an overall close length of approximately 1-5/8 inches. This type of nipple is fully threaded end to end with no unthreaded center, making it the right choice when the shortest possible connection between two threaded fittings is required. At 0.32 pounds per piece, it is suited for high-pressure or high-temperature piping assemblies where standard-weight pipe is insufficient. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors specify extra heavy nipples when the job calls for added wall thickness and durability in demanding service lines.

Close nipples in this size and wall class are commonly installed in residential and commercial mechanical systems including steam, hot water heating, gas distribution, and industrial process piping. The extra heavy designation makes this nipple appropriate for applications where line pressures or mechanical stress exceed the limits of standard-weight fittings. It is typically installed at headers, manifolds, valve connections, and tight-clearance inline fittings where a longer nipple simply will not fit. This part is sourced as an import product and is not domestically manufactured.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for higher-pressure service applications
• Fully threaded close nipple design minimizes installed face-to-face length
• Black steel material compatible with steam, hot water, and gas piping systems
• 1-1/4 inch pipe size with 1-5/8 inch close length for tight-clearance installations
• Lightweight at 0.32 pounds per unit for easy single-hand handling during install

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4 inch threaded black steel piping systems using NPT connections in steam, hot water heating, or gas distribution service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC, IFGC, or local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before threading the nipple into place. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with jaw protectors and stop at the proper thread engagement depth to avoid damaging the fitting or mating threads.
