Asc Engineered Solutions 830532008 Black Steel Close Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830532008 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) close nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies requiring minimal spacing between fittings. A close nipple consists of two threaded ends with no unthreaded center, allowing two female-threaded fittings to be joined as tightly as possible. At 1-1/2 inches nominal pipe size with an overall length of approximately 1-3/4 inches, this fitting is suitable for high-demand piping systems where a standard-length nipple would create unwanted gap. The extra heavy wall construction provides additional strength for systems subject to higher pressure or mechanical stress.

This close nipple is used in commercial and industrial piping applications involving gas, steam, air, and water distribution. It is well suited for mechanical rooms, boiler connections, compressor lines, and other installations where threaded black steel pipe is specified. Plumbing and pipefitting contractors typically install this fitting during new construction or retrofit work where tight spacing between components is required.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for added pressure and mechanical strength
• Close-pattern design allows two fittings to thread together with minimal spacing
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with approximately 1-3/4 inch overall length
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, air, and water service
• NPT threaded ends for standard threaded pipe and fitting compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for 1-1/2 inch threaded black steel pipe systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Use a pipe wrench of appropriate size and avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or damage threads.
