Asc Engineered Solutions 8700140059 Black Iron Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700140059 is a black iron pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating to inhibit corrosion, this nipple measures 0.75 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in length. It is built to Schedule 40 wall thickness and features standard NPT threads on both ends for reliable, leak-resistant connections. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of low-pressure gas, steam, water, and hydronic systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a close or short extension between fittings is required. Typical uses include connecting valves, tees, elbows, and couplings in gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and water distribution piping. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications where galvanized fittings are not code-acceptable. It meets ASTM A53 standards, confirming the base pipe material and weld integrity.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure pipe systems
• Black coated welded steel construction resists corrosion during service life
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with common threaded fittings
• Meets ASTM A53 specification for steel pipe material and weld quality
• 0.75 inch x 5.5 inch dimensions suit a wide range of close-nipple extension needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for threaded Schedule 40 black iron piping systems using 0.75 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and fuel-gas codes, including IFGC and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembly or installation. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
