Asc Engineered Solutions 8700143251 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700143251 is a black iron pipe nipple manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion. The nipple measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, conforming to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Standard NPT pipe threads on both ends allow connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. This nipple meets ASTM A53 standards for steel pipe, making it suitable for use in pressure and mechanical applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas, water, and steam distribution systems in both residential and commercial settings.

This nipple is used in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems where Schedule 40 black iron pipe is specified. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and general-purpose water distribution where black iron is the required material. The 1-1/2 inch size fits standard Class 150 black iron fittings and valves of the same nominal diameter. It is sold individually and is a common component in both new construction and retrofit piping work.

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 where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
