Asc Engineered Solutions 831037007 2 in Close Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831037007 is a 2-inch close nipple machined from galvanized steel. A close nipple is a short pipe fitting threaded along its entire length, used to join two female-threaded fittings with minimal space between them. This fitting is a standard component in pipe assemblies where a close, tight connection is required without additional pipe length. It suits water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing lines. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in work and repair on threaded pipe systems. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or moderately corrosive environments.

This close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems where 2-inch NPT threaded connections are required. It is commonly installed in water distribution lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose pipe runs. Its fully threaded body allows direct coupling of two female fittings with no gap, making it useful in space-constrained installations.

Key Features

• Fully threaded close nipple design allows two female fittings to be joined with minimal separation
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and general service environments
• 2-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.46 pounds, suitable for overhead and tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service close nipple for 2-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as galvanized steel threads can crack or strip if excessive force is applied.
