Asc Engineered Solutions 830536587 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 830536587 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 2 inches by 5-1/2 inches. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other components in a piping system. The extra heavy wall construction provides greater pressure and mechanical durability compared to standard-weight nipples. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, making it suitable for gas, steam, air, and other non-corrosive fluid applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial piping systems where a 2-inch threaded connection is required. Common applications include natural gas distribution piping, steam heating systems, compressed air lines, and industrial fluid transfer. The 5-1/2 inch length provides a short extension between two threaded components. The black steel material and extra heavy wall rating make it a standard choice in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility installations where robust fittings are specified.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for elevated pressure and mechanical service
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, air, and non-corrosive fluid service
• 2-inch NPT threaded ends for standard pipe thread connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded pipe nipple for use with 2-inch NPT fittings, valves, couplings, and pipe connections in black steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded joints. Do not use black steel nipples in potable water systems or corrosive fluid applications.
