Asc Engineered Solutions 8700139051 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700139051 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across gas, air, and water distribution systems. Measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, it is manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion in typical service environments. The standard NPT threads on each end allow direct connection to pipe fittings, valves, and other threaded components. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of nipple in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for use in gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and water supply piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness and threaded connections are required. It meets ASTM A53 standards, making it appropriate for code-compliant installations in residential and commercial construction. It is commonly used to make up short runs between fittings, extend existing piping assemblies, or connect valves and equipment to a main line.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service applications
• Black steel coating helps resist corrosion during storage and service
• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with common threaded fittings
• 10-inch length suits close-to-medium offset connections between fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock pipe nipple for use with Schedule 40 threaded pipe fittings in gas, air, and water piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code as appropriate for the service. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
