Asc Engineered Solutions 8700142501 Black Iron Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700142501 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used in threaded pipe assemblies for gas, steam, and water distribution systems. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length. It features standard NPT threading on both ends for straightforward connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in residential and commercial mechanical systems where a short, rigid threaded connection is required between two fittings or at a fixture takeoff.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and steam piping applications. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard-pressure service lines. The 1-1/4-inch size is a common dimension in main distribution runs, branch lines, and riser connections in both new construction and retrofit work. The black coating distinguishes it from galvanized nipples and is the standard choice for natural gas and propane piping where galvanized fittings are not permitted.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded pipe systems
• Black-coated welded steel construction resists corrosion
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for universal fitment with threaded fittings and valves
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• 1-1/4 inch diameter suits main distribution and branch line applications
• 6-inch length provides a rigid close nipple extension between fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 threaded black iron pipe systems using 1-1/4-inch NPT fittings in gas, steam, and water service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or deform threads.
