Pasco 4830-PA Nipple and Screw Extractor 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The PASCO 4830-PA is a nipple and screw extractor sized for 1/2 inch applications. It is designed to remove broken or seized nipples and screws from fittings, valves, and threaded pipe connections without damaging the surrounding threads or pipe body. This type of extractor is a standard tool in the plumbing trade, used when conventional gripping methods fail on flush-broken or deeply recessed fasteners. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters keep extractors like this on hand for service and repair work on water supply lines, gas lines, and general threaded-pipe systems.

The 4830-PA is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing service scenarios where a 1/2 inch nipple or fastener has broken off inside a fitting or valve body. It provides a mechanical grip on the interior of the broken piece, allowing controlled extraction with standard hand tools. This extractor is particularly useful during fixture replacement, valve repair, and pipe rerouting jobs where broken nipples are a common obstacle.

Key Features

• Sized for 1/2 inch nipples and screws
• Designed to grip broken or flush-set fasteners from the interior bore
• Helps protect surrounding threads during extraction
• Compatible with standard hand tool drive methods
• Compact form for use in tight access areas typical of plumbing installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style specialty tool for extracting 1/2 inch broken nipples and screws from threaded plumbing fittings and valve bodies.

Installation Notes

This extractor should be used by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before attempting any nipple or screw extraction. Insert the extractor fully into the broken piece before applying rotational force to avoid slippage or further damage to the fitting. Follow all applicable IPC guidelines when working on potable water or gas-supply piping.
