Asc Engineered Solutions 8700143459 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700143459 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, water, and steam distribution systems. Sized at 1-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches, it is manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion during service. Standard NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple in commercial and residential piping systems where a short, rigid threaded extension is required between two connection points.

This nipple is suited for low- to medium-pressure applications including natural gas supply lines, steam systems, and water distribution where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. The 1-1/2-inch nominal diameter makes it a common size in both building mechanical systems and industrial process piping. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard NPT fittings of the same nominal diameter.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards
• Black coating provides corrosion resistance in dry and low-moisture environments
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to fittings and valves
• 1-1/2 inches nominal diameter by 3-1/2 inches length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded Schedule 40 piping systems using 1-1/2-inch nominal NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. De-pressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads or crack fittings.
