Asc Engineered Solutions 8700140109 Black Iron Nipple 3/4x6 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700140109 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in commercial and residential applications. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 3/4 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length. It is produced to ASTM A53 standards, ensuring consistent wall thickness and pressure integrity. Standard NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though the part also sees use in gas, water, and mechanical systems by other qualified tradespeople.

This nipple is a common component in gas distribution, water supply, and industrial piping assemblies. The 3/4 inch by 6 inch Schedule 40 configuration fits into a wide range of residential and light commercial mechanical systems. It is typically installed between fittings to extend a run, offset a connection, or transition between two threaded components. Its black coating makes it appropriate for gas service where bare or galvanized pipe may not be preferred.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant. Before installation, shut off and depressurize the supply line and verify that existing threads are clean and undamaged. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium before making up connections. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or crack cast components in the assembly.
