Asc Engineered Solutions 8700141255 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700141255 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used in threaded pipe assemblies for gas, steam, and fluid distribution systems. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 1 inch in diameter and 5.5 inches in length. It is produced to ASTM A53 standards, confirming consistent wall thickness and material integrity. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple in residential and light commercial piping systems where standard NPT threaded connections are required.

This nipple is suited for use in natural gas supply lines, steam systems, hydronic heating loops, and general industrial fluid piping. The 1-inch diameter and 5.5-inch body length make it a common close-fit connector between fittings, valves, and equipment where a short threaded extension is needed. Installation typically occurs in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility spaces where Schedule 40 black iron piping is the standard specification.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded pipe applications
• Black coating applied over welded steel to resist surface corrosion
• Meets ASTM A53 material and dimensional standards
• Standard NPT threading on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings
• 1-inch nominal diameter x 5.5-inch length for close-fit connections

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC and IPC requirements where gas or fluid service is involved. Shut off the gas supply or depressurize the fluid system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
