Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, it measures 1-1\/4 inches in diameter and 3-1\/2 inches in length. The fitting carries standard NPT threads on both ends and conforms to ASTM A53 standards for steel pipe. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this nipple in both residential and light commercial applications where a short threaded coupling between fittings or valves is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for use in gas supply lines, steam systems, hydronic heating systems, and general water service piping. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness handles typical working pressures found in residential and commercial mechanical rooms. The black iron finish makes it the standard choice for natural gas and propane distribution piping where galvanized fittings are not permitted by local code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack coating provides corrosion resistance during storage and service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch nominal diameter by 3-1\/2 inch length for close-coupled connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 threaded black iron pipe systems using 1-1\/4 inch nominal pipe size connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into place. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A53\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.513 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700142253\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51348031111474,"sku":"8700142253","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547479.jpg?v=1782118633","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700142253-black-iron-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
