Asc Engineered Solutions 831053608 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831053608 is a galvanized steel close nipple sized at 4 inches by 4-1/2 inches, designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in both above-ground and exposed indoor applications. This nipple serves as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, and pipe sections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply lines, gas distribution piping, and general mechanical systems where a reliable threaded connection is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where 4-inch threaded galvanized pipe is specified. Common applications include main water service connections, fire protection supply lines, and industrial fluid transfer systems. It is compatible with standard NPT-threaded fittings and pipe of the same nominal diameter. Installers working on mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility piping runs will find this fitting appropriate for those environments.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction offers corrosion resistance for long service life in wet and humid environments
• 4-inch by 4-1/2-inch sizing fits standard 4-inch NPT threaded pipe systems
• Short nipple profile allows close connection between adjacent fittings with minimal gap

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 4-inch NPT threaded galvanized steel pipe systems in plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's recommended engagement using pipe wrenches. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure a leak-free connection.
