Asc Engineered Solutions 8700142808 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700142808 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple carries a standard NPT pipe thread on both ends. It meets ASTM A53 specifications, making it a code-compliant choice for gas, steam, and water piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for use in natural gas, propane, steam, and water distribution systems where Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe is specified. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and HVAC equipment connections where a short, rigid threaded run is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. The 1-1/4-inch diameter is a standard size found in main distribution lines and branch connections throughout residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pipe applications
• Black coating applied over welded steel to resist corrosion

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the service. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and hand-tighten before applying wrench torque. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Do not use black iron nipples on potable water systems where local codes require approved materials.
