Asc Engineered Solutions 8700143400 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700143400 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe runs in gas, steam, and water distribution systems. Made from welded steel with a black iron coating, it resists corrosion and holds up in demanding piping environments. The nipple measures 1-1/2 inches nominal diameter by 3 inches in length and features standard NPT threads on both ends. At 0.516 pounds, it is a lightweight, ready-to-install fitting suited for both new construction and retrofit work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly use fittings like this in commercial and residential mechanical systems.

This nipple is appropriate for use in gas distribution, hydronic heating, steam, and potable water piping systems where Schedule 40 threaded steel fittings are specified. It is commonly installed in boiler rooms, mechanical chases, and utility areas where black iron pipe is the code-required or preferred material. The 3-inch length makes it useful as a close-to-short extension between valves, fittings, and equipment connections in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard load and pressure requirements for threaded pipe systems
• Welded steel construction with black iron coating to resist corrosion
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for steel pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for Schedule 40 threaded black iron pipe systems using 1-1/2 inch nominal diameter components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where required. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Always depressurize and isolate the system before making or breaking threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can damage threads or cause cracking in adjacent components.
