Asc Engineered Solutions 830545042 Black Steel Xh Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 830545042 is a black steel extra heavy (XH) pipe nipple sized at 3 inches by 12 inches and weighing 9.82 pounds. Extra heavy wall nipples are used where standard-weight fittings do not meet pressure or mechanical-strength requirements. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these nipples as threaded connectors between pipe sections, valves, and fittings in demanding piping systems. The black steel construction makes this nipple suitable for gas, steam, and industrial fluid distribution where corrosion from a non-potable environment is controlled through system design.

This nipple fits into commercial and industrial piping applications where extra wall thickness is specified by the engineer or required by code. Typical installations include gas distribution headers, steam supply and return lines, and industrial process piping. It is also used in fire suppression systems and mechanical rooms where robust threaded connections are needed. This is an import product, sourced for applications where domestic certification is not a project requirement.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure and mechanical strength over standard-weight nipples
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, and non-potable fluid service
• 3-inch by 12-inch dimensions provide a fixed-length threaded connection for close-tolerance piping layouts
• Threaded ends allow direct makeup with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings
• Import designation identifies this as a non-domestic product for projects without domestic-sourcing requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for extra heavy black steel threaded piping systems using 3-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Isolate and de-pressurize the system and shut off all upstream supply before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not use this fitting as a substitute for a pressure-rated union or flange where the design requires future disassembly.
