Asc Engineered Solutions 8700141602 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700141602 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple designed for use in gas, steam, and water piping systems. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating to resist corrosion, it measures 1 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length. The nipple features standard NPT pipe threads on both ends for reliable, leak-resistant connections. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting wherever a close or extension connection is needed in a threaded black iron piping assembly.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and general water service piping. It performs in both above-ground and exposed interior installations where a durable, threaded steel fitting is required. The black iron finish makes it a common choice for gas-line work, where bare or galvanized steel is not preferred by code in certain jurisdictions.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• Black coating applied over welded steel to inhibit surface corrosion
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves
• Meets ASTM A53 specification for steel pipe
• 1 inch nominal diameter by 12 inches in length
• Sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard Schedule 40 threaded black iron piping systems using 1 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off the gas supply or water service and relieve system pressure before threading or removing any fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
