This fitting connects two female-threaded fittings or pipe ends in close proximity, minimizing dead space between connections. It is used in piping systems where a rigid, compact steel connection is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in gas, steam, air, and industrial fluid systems. The black steel construction and extra heavy wall rating make it suitable for higher-pressure or higher-stress applications compared to standard-weight fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple is appropriate for use in commercial and industrial piping installations where black steel pipe and fittings are specified. Typical applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam heating systems, compressed air headers, and industrial process piping. The close configuration is selected when two threaded connections must be joined with minimal intervening length, such as at valves, meters, or manifold assemblies. This fitting is sourced as an import product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure and mechanical durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel material suited for gas, steam, air, and industrial fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose nipple configuration minimizes length between threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch pipe size with 2-5\/8 inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 1.74 pounds per unit\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 3-inch black steel threaded piping systems using extra heavy wall pipe and fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into place. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a proper seal without over-stressing the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches x Close (2-5\/8 inches overall length)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy (XH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.74 pounds per unit\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: 830544607\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233901019442,"sku":"0830544607","price":50.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307632168.jpg?v=1780111663","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-830544607-black-steel-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
