Asc 8700158200 Black Iron Merchant Coupling 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700158200 is a 1-1/4 inch malleable black iron merchant coupling designed for joining straight pipe sections in low-pressure piping systems. Built from malleable iron with a black finish, this standard coupling provides a reliable threaded connection between two lengths of pipe in a compact, durable form. It is sized for 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe and sold individually. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters routinely install this type of fitting in commercial and light industrial applications where low-pressure service conditions apply.

Merchant couplings in this class are commonly used in low-pressure systems carrying water, oil, compressed air, or gas. The 1-1/4 inch size suits a wide range of residential and commercial piping runs, including supply lines, compressed air distribution, and fuel-oil distribution piping. This fitting is suited for interior and above-grade installations where threaded iron pipe fittings meet project specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) where adopted. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
