Asc Engineered Solutions 831005608 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831005608 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch by 2-1/2 inches. This close-tolerance threaded fitting connects two female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections within a piping assembly. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, gas, and general plumbing applications. At 0.07 pounds, it is a compact component used in residential and light commercial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of routine pipe assembly or repair work.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, and gas distribution systems where a short 1/4-inch threaded connection is required. The 2-1/2-inch length makes it appropriate for applications needing a close offset between fittings without a full-length pipe run. It is commonly used where space is limited and a standard hex nipple or long nipple would be impractical.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and gas service environments
• 1/4 inch by 2-1/2 inch dimensions for compact inline connections
• Threaded ends for standard NPT pipe assembly
• Lightweight at 0.07 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Import-sourced fitting suitable for general trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement nipple for 1/4-inch piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and hydronic heating assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threaded connections.
