Asc Engineered Solutions 8700136800 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700136800 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in gas, steam, and water piping systems. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length. It carries standard NPT pipe threads on both ends and meets ASTM A53 requirements for steel pipe. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors reach for this fitting when assembling or repairing threaded black iron piping runs in commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is suited for low-pressure gas distribution lines, steam systems, hydronic heating piping, and general industrial plumbing where black iron pipe is the specified material. The short close-nipple length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance connections between fittings, valves, or threaded equipment ports. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 0.25-inch NPT threaded fittings and pipe.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard working pressures in gas and water service
• Black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance during storage and service
• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 specification
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with common threaded fittings
• Compact 1.5-inch length suits tight-clearance assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 0.25-inch NPT threaded black iron piping systems in gas, steam, hydronic, and general plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of black iron pipe nipples on gas lines must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up threads. Do not use black iron fittings in potable water systems where dezincification or corrosion of ferrous materials is a concern under local code.
