Asc Engineered Solutions 8700137600 Black Iron Nipple 3/8x2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700137600 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter by 2 inches in length. Constructed from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple is threaded on both ends with standard NPT pipe thread. It is used in gas distribution, steam, and water piping systems where a short threaded connector is required between fittings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians install this type of nipple in both residential and light commercial applications. The part meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe.

This nipple is suited for Schedule 40 black iron piping systems commonly found in natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and industrial fluid conveyance. The 3/8 inch nominal size and 2 inch length make it a standard close-coupling connector between valves, tees, elbows, and other threaded fittings. It ships individually and is appropriate for maintenance, repair, and new-construction piping work.
