Asc Engineered Solutions 8700140208 Black Iron Nipple 3/4x8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700140208 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in gas, water, and steam distribution systems. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 8 inches in length, this nipple is machined from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion during service. Standard NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to compatible fittings, valves, and pipe sections. At 0.663 pounds, it is a single-piece unit sold individually. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in commercial and residential applications where a short, rigid threaded extension is required.

This black iron nipple is suited for use in natural gas lines, propane supply lines, water distribution, and low-pressure steam systems. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets the pressure and mechanical demands of standard residential and light commercial piping installations. It is a common component in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility connections where threaded black iron pipe is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable to the system type. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up connections. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
