Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length. Standard NPT pipe threads on both ends allow for straightforward installation into fittings, valves, and other threaded components. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple as a close coupling between system components where a short run of pipe is required. It meets ASTM A53 standards for structural and pressure service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas distribution, steam lines, and water supply systems. It is commonly installed between shutoff valves, tees, elbows, and other Schedule 40 threaded fittings. The 5-inch length provides clearance where a close nipple or hex nipple is too short and a longer pipe run is unnecessary. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters typically specify this fitting when assembling or repairing black iron gas piping systems in mechanical rooms, crawlspaces, and utility areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard pressure service in gas and water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel coating reduces corrosion during storage and service in dry piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded Schedule 40 fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch x 5 inch dimensions suit close-coupling applications where space is limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for use with standard Schedule 40 threaded black iron pipe systems and fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of black iron gas pipe nipples must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply before beginning work. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded joints; verify all connections for leaks after restoring system pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded Steel with Black Coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A53\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.291 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700138756\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347153125682,"sku":"8700138756","price":17.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547451.jpg?v=1782098928","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700138756-black-iron-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
