Asc Engineered Solutions 8700140901 Black Iron Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700140901 is a black iron pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from welded steel and coated black to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 1 inch nominal diameter by 2 inches in length and is produced to Schedule 40 wall thickness. It carries standard NPT pipe threads on both ends and meets ASTM A53 specifications for steel pipe. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of threaded black iron systems in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial black iron piping systems, including natural gas supply lines, steam heating distribution, and general plumbing rough-in work. Its Schedule 40 wall construction provides the material thickness required for standard-pressure service. The black coating is applied to the exterior to slow oxidation during storage and service in dry or mildly humid environments. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings of the same nominal size.

Key Features

• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards for pipe material quality
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded piping applications
• Black oxide coating applied to exterior to resist corrosion during storage and service
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings, valves, and couplings
• 1 inch nominal diameter by 2 inch length for close-quarter pipe runs and offsets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Schedule 40 black iron threaded piping systems using 1 inch nominal NPT fittings and pipe connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code where natural gas service is involved. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up connections. Do not overtighten threaded joints; follow applicable code guidance for thread engagement and joint assembly.
