Asc Engineered Solutions 831045604 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831045604 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3 inches by 3.5 inches. This close-cut threaded nipple connects two female-threaded fittings or valves in a piping run, bridging short spans where a longer pipe section is not required. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, gas, and general plumbing applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a standard component in new construction and retrofit piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, gas distribution lines, and industrial piping where a 3-inch threaded connection is required. The 3.5-inch overall length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations where only a short threaded extension is needed between fittings. It is an import-sourced component intended for general trade use.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and gas service environments
• 3-inch nominal pipe size with 3.5-inch overall length for short-span connections
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT female fittings and valves
• Weighs 1.5 pounds, suitable for overhead and in-wall piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 3-inch piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off the water supply or gas line and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench sized to the fitting and follow standard hand-tight-plus-turns practice for the pipe material and service type.
