Asc Engineered Solutions 831046404 Galvanized Nipple 3x5.5in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831046404 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3 inches by 5.5 inches. A pipe nipple is a short length of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. This nipple is manufactured from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance suited for water, air, and general-purpose piping applications. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters during new construction or repair work on commercial and industrial piping systems.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and general mechanical piping applications where a 3-inch threaded connection with a 5.5-inch overall length is required. The galvanized finish makes it suitable for environments where moisture exposure is a concern. It is typically installed in supply lines, branch connections, or between threaded valves and fittings.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and humid environments
• 3-inch diameter accommodates high-flow plumbing and mechanical piping runs
• 5.5-inch length suits close-quarter connections between fittings and valves
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Import-sourced component suitable for general mechanical and plumbing service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 3-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
