Asc Engineered Solutions 831047402 Galvanized Nipple 3x8

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 831047402 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3 inches x 8 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 constructed from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments. It is a standard component installed by plumbers and pipefitters in water distribution, gas, and general-purpose piping systems. At 4.34 pounds, it is a solid, full-weight fitting suitable for demanding trade applications.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, fire protection, and industrial piping assemblies wherever a 3-inch threaded connection is required. The 8-inch length makes it appropriate for applications needing a modest extension or offset between threaded fittings. It is typically installed in conjunction with couplings, unions, elbows, tees, and valves in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed piping environments
• 3 inches x 8 inches size fits standard threaded pipe connections at this diameter
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to compatible fittings, valves, and equipment without additional adapters
• Solid construction at 4.34 pounds suitable for pressure-bearing piping applications
• Import-sourced fitting at a practical size for general trade use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded pipe nipple for use with 3-inch NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and piping components in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
