Asc Engineered Solutions 8700136156 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700136156 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in gas, water, and steam distribution systems. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 2 inches in length and is threaded on both ends with standard NPT pipe thread. It meets ASTM A/53 standards for welded steel pipe. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these nipples to extend or connect threaded pipe runs in a wide range of mechanical systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and water distribution piping. The 1/8 inch size is commonly used in branch connections, instrument taps, and low-flow service lines. Its compact 2 inch length makes it useful in tight spaces where a close nipple is too short and a longer nipple would create clearance issues.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure ratings
• Black coating resists rust during storage and in dry or low-moisture service environments
• Meets ASTM A/53 welded steel pipe standard
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves
• 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 2 inch length for compact branch and extension connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fitting for use with standard NPT threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings in Schedule 40 black iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Black iron pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters and must comply with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before assembly. Tighten using a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
