A close nipple has threads running the full length of the fitting with no exposed unthreaded center, making it the shortest possible connection between two threaded fittings or ports. This type of nipple is used in gas piping, steam, and industrial fluid systems where a rigid, compact threaded connection is required. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or qualified gas technicians working on black iron piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple is suited for residential and commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution piping, steam heating systems, and industrial fluid transfer lines. Its extra heavy wall construction provides added strength for higher-pressure or high-temperature service environments compared to standard-weight nipples. The black steel finish is standard for gas piping and steam applications where galvanized fittings are not required or permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure and temperature capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose-pattern threading — no exposed center, creates the most compact threaded connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel material suitable for gas, steam, and industrial fluid piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch fitting size for larger-diameter piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded both ends for standard NPT connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for black iron threaded piping systems using 2.5-inch NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified gas technician in accordance with applicable codes including the IFGC and ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant rated for the service medium — use sealant approved for gas service on gas lines. Do not over-torque the fitting, as black steel threads can gall or crack under excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy (XH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.22 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 830540605\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233343865138,"sku":"0830540605","price":42.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307632172.jpg?v=1780097980","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-830540605-black-steel-nipple-2-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
