Asc Engineered Solutions 831053004 Galvanized Nipple 4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831053004 is a close nipple fabricated from galvanized steel, designed for use in threaded pipe systems where a minimal-length connection between two fittings or a fitting and a pipe is required. At 4 inches nominal size with a close-pattern length of 2-7/8 inches, this nipple provides a tight, low-profile joint. The galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple when eliminating exposed thread length is a priority in the assembly.

Close nipples in this size range are commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, fire protection piping, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The 4-inch nominal size suits main distribution runs and branch connections where a standard-length nipple would create unnecessary projection. This part is appropriate for any threaded piping configuration calling for a galvanized steel close nipple at 4-inch nominal size.

Key Features

• Close-pattern length of 2-7/8 inches minimizes projection between threaded connections
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and mechanical service environments
• 4-inch nominal pipe size suits main-line and large-branch threaded assemblies
• Weighs 1.74 pounds per piece, consistent with full-weight galvanized fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded close nipple replacement for 4-inch nominal galvanized steel pipe systems using NPT threaded connections in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads prior to assembly. Follow applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements for pipe joint compounds used in potable water or gas service.
