Asc Engineered Solutions 831010202 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831010202 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple used to create short threaded connections in piping systems. Sized at 3/8 inch by 2-1/2 inch, it provides a close-length extension between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in standard plumbing and mechanical applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as part of gas, water, and general-purpose piping assemblies where a short threaded section is needed between two threaded components.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. It is commonly used in gas distribution lines, water supply piping, and HVAC hydronic systems where 3/8 inch pipe connections are required. The 2-1/2 inch length makes it useful in close-quarters installations where a longer nipple would not fit and a close nipple would not allow for wrench access.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in standard service environments
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with 2-1/2 inch overall length
• Threaded ends for connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.11 pounds per piece for easy handling
• Import product suitable for general-purpose piping use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fitting compatible with standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters depending on the application and local code requirements. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before threading in the nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten to the fitting manufacturer guidelines using a pipe wrench, and inspect for leaks after restoring service pressure.
