Asc Engineered Solutions 8700142204 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700142204 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used in threaded piping systems across plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical applications. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating to resist corrosion, it measures 1.25 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length. The nipple features standard NPT pipe threads on both ends for reliable, leak-resistant connections. It meets ASTM A53 standards for pipe material quality and is sold individually. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where Schedule 40 threaded black iron pipe is specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam systems, and general water piping where black iron is permitted by local code. The 3-inch length makes it a useful close nipple alternative when a short, rigid connection between fittings or equipment is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off all gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage the threads or fittings.
