Asc Engineered Solutions 8700142402 Black Iron Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700142402 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe fittings in gas, water, and steam piping systems. It is manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion in dry and low-moisture environments. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, it is threaded on both ends using standard NPT pipe thread. This nipple is rated to ASTM A53 standards, confirming material and dimensional compliance for pressure piping applications. It is a standard stocking item for plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on commercial and residential piping systems.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial gas distribution lines, steam piping, and general-purpose water and air supply systems. It is commonly installed at equipment connections, between fittings, and at valve drops where a short threaded extension is needed. The 1-1/4 inch size is frequently used in main gas branch lines and heating system supply runs. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of a threaded assembly using pipe dope or PTFE tape rated for the fluid being conveyed.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• Black coated welded steel construction resists corrosion in dry service conditions
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard supply fitting for threaded Schedule 40 black iron piping systems using 1-1/4 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with local mechanical and fuel gas codes, including IFGC and IPC requirements. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
