Asc Engineered Solutions 8700136859 Black Iron Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700136859 is a black iron pipe nipple designed for use in gas, steam, and water piping systems. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 1/4 inch in diameter and 2 inches in length. It is threaded to Schedule 40 standard pipe thread (NPT) specifications, making it a direct-fit component for threaded iron pipe assemblies. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas line technicians use this nipple to connect fittings, valves, and other threaded components in low-pressure distribution systems. The part meets ASTM A53 standards for steel pipe.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas distribution, propane lines, steam systems, and water supply lines. It is commonly installed in close-nipple or short-run configurations between two threaded fittings. The small diameter makes it a frequent component in gas appliance connections, manifold assemblies, and utility piping rough-ins where a short threaded steel section is required.

Key Features

• Black steel coating resists corrosion during storage and service
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty piping applications
• Standard NPT threading for compatibility with threaded iron pipe fittings
• Meets ASTM A53 welded steel pipe standards
• 1/4 inch nominal diameter x 2 inch length for short-run connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock threaded nipple for Schedule 40 black iron pipe systems using 1/4 inch NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters depending on the application and local code requirements. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free connection without over-stressing the threads.
