Asc Engineered Solutions 8700140950 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700140950 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used in threaded piping systems across plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical applications. The nipple measures 1 inch in diameter by 2.5 inches in length and is manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist rust and corrosion during service. Standard NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a close or short extension between threaded fittings in a run.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations including natural gas lines, steam systems, water distribution, and general-purpose mechanical piping. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common pressure requirements for these applications. It is sold individually and is a stock item used in repair, retrofit, and new construction work where a short threaded steel connection is needed between valves, tees, elbows, or other threaded components.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure applications
• Welded steel construction with black coating to resist rust
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for direct fitting connection
• Meets ASTM A53 requirements for steel pipe
• 1 inch nominal diameter by 2.5 inch length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 threaded steel piping systems using 1 inch NPT fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to a secure, leak-free fit using pipe wrenches. For gas piping, installation must comply with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements, and all connections must be leak-tested after completion.
