Asc Engineered Solutions 8700141156 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700141156 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. Constructed from welded steel with a black oxide coating, it resists corrosion and meets ASTM A53 standards. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 4.5 inches in length, it ships with standard NPT threads on both ends. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a short connector between fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components where a rigid, code-compliant joint is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, steam systems, air lines, and water distribution. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness handles the pressure demands of standard service conditions. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility spaces where black iron pipe assemblies are the preferred material for gas and steam service.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service in gas, steam, and water systems
• Black oxide coating helps prevent rust during storage and service
• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves
• 1 inch nominal diameter by 4.5 inches in length

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping or IPC requirements for water and steam. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all threaded joints before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
