Asc Engineered Solutions 8700140000 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700140000 is a black iron pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in gas, steam, and water distribution systems. It is constructed from welded Schedule 40 steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion in service. The nipple measures 0.75 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, with standard NPT threads on both ends. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these nipples in commercial and residential applications wherever threaded black iron piping is specified. Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe.

This nipple is suited for low-pressure gas lines, steam systems, fire suppression headers, and general water distribution where black iron pipe is required. It is a common component in boiler room piping, natural gas distribution within buildings, and industrial process lines. The 5-inch length provides a short, rigid connection between fittings such as tees, elbows, and unions without the need for field cutting or threading on the job.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• Black coating resists corrosion during storage and in service
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe construction
• 0.75 inch nominal diameter x 5 inch length for precise fit in threaded assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement nipple for use with standard 0.75 inch NPT threaded black iron pipe fittings in gas, steam, and water piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads or crack fittings.
