Cambridge Resources 30612x48 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES 30612x48 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 48 inches in length, designed for use in threaded piping systems across gas, steam, and water distribution applications. Manufactured to ASTM A733 specifications and hydrostatically tested, this nipple delivers a rated maximum working pressure of 214 psi at 400 degrees F. Steel construction provides the durability and pressure integrity demanded in commercial and residential mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians frequently use black steel nipples in gas-line work as well.

This nipple is suited for gas distribution, steam piping, and water supply applications in both residential and light commercial settings. The 48-inch cut length makes it appropriate for longer straight runs where standard close, short, or hex nipples would not reach. It is commonly installed in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility spaces where black steel pipe is the specified material for gas or steam service.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where relevant. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water or steam line completely before threading or replacing any nipple in an active system. Apply a code-approved pipe thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium before making threaded connections. Do not over-torque threaded fittings, as this can crack or distort the fitting or mating component.
