Asc Engineered Solutions 8700140406 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700140406 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Measuring 3/4 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, it is fabricated from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion during service. The standard NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple in both residential and commercial applications where a short, rigid threaded pipe segment is required.

This nipple is suited for use in gas supply lines, steam systems, water distribution piping, and general mechanical installations where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. The 3/4-inch diameter is a common size in residential gas appliance supply runs and commercial branch piping. Its black coating distinguishes it from galvanized pipe and makes it the appropriate choice for gas service in many jurisdictions where galvanized fittings are not permitted on gas lines.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure rating requirements for threaded steel pipe assemblies
• Black steel coating provides corrosion resistance during installation and service
• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards for pipe integrity
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves
• 3/4-inch diameter by 12-inch length suits common residential and commercial piping configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using standard NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service application. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort thread engagement.
