Asc Engineered Solutions 8700142105 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700142105 is a black iron close pipe nipple manufactured from welded steel and finished with a black coating to resist corrosion. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness with standard NPT threads on both ends, this nipple is rated for use in a wide range of fluid and gas piping systems. It measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length and weighs 0.262 pounds. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in new construction and repair work where a short, threaded connection is required between two fittings or between a fitting and a valve.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and gas distribution piping where black iron pipe is specified. It connects directly to standard NPT-threaded fittings, unions, valves, and tees of the same nominal size. The black coating makes it a common choice for natural gas and propane supply lines where galvanized pipe is not permitted by local code. It is sold individually and handled as a standard stock pipe fitting by plumbing and mechanical contractors.

Key Features

• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves
• 1-1/4 inch nominal diameter by 2 inch length for short-run connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded fitting for use with Schedule 40 black iron pipe systems using 1-1/4 inch NPT-threaded components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten connections with a pipe wrench to a snug fit and avoid overtightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or replacing any threaded pipe component.
