Asc Engineered Solutions 8700136107 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700136107 is a black iron pipe nipple manufactured from Schedule 40 welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion. Measuring 0.125 inches (1/8 inch) nominal pipe size by 1.5 inches in length, this nipple features standard NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections. It meets ASTM A53 standards for steel pipe, making it a code-compliant choice for plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both new construction and repair work.

This black iron nipple is suited for low-pressure gas lines, water distribution, and general mechanical piping in residential and light commercial applications. Its small nominal diameter makes it appropriate for branch connections, instrument taps, and close-coupled fittings where a short threaded male connector is needed. The black coating is standard for gas line service, while the Schedule 40 wall thickness provides adequate strength for typical plumbing and HVAC hydronic system pressures.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty plumbing and gas piping applications
• Black corrosion-resistant coating standard for gas distribution service
• Meets ASTM A53 welded steel pipe standards
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings
• 0.125 inch nominal pipe size by 1.5 inch length for short-run and branch connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock fitting for threaded Schedule 40 black iron pipe systems using 1/8 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements. Power down or shut off all gas or fluid supply to the line before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
