Asc Engineered Solutions 8700139804 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700139804 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical applications. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 0.75 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length. Standard NPT pipe threads on both ends allow it to connect directly to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this type of nipple to extend or offset piping runs. It meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe, confirming material and dimensional compliance for general service use.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe is specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam systems, water distribution, and compressed air piping. The 0.75-inch by 3-inch size fits frequently encountered transition and extension points in both new construction and retrofit work. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical trade installing this fitting in code-governed systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for general-service pressure applications
• Black coating provides corrosion resistance for indoor and protected installations
• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to compatible fittings
• 0.75-inch nominal diameter by 3-inch length for common offset and extension runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe nipple compatible with 0.75-inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings used in gas, steam, water, and compressed air piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of black iron pipe nipples in gas service 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 the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service medium to all NPT connections. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
