Asc Engineered Solutions 831006408 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831006408 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch by 4-1/2 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping assembly. This nipple is manufactured from galvanized steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and general-purpose piping systems. It is a standard component installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians during new construction and service work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a short threaded extension or close connection is required between fittings. Common uses include connecting ball valves, unions, tees, and elbows in water supply, gas distribution, and compressed air lines. Its compact 4-1/2 inch length fits tight-clearance installations where longer nipples are not practical.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for general piping service
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size suits small-bore connections in plumbing and HVAC systems
• 4-1/2 inch length provides clearance for connecting closely spaced fittings
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.14 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fitting for standard 1/4 inch NPT threaded piping assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
