Asc Engineered Solutions 8700143608 Black Iron Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700143608 is a black iron pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across HVAC, plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial applications. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating to inhibit corrosion, this nipple measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length. It conforms to Schedule 40 wall thickness and carries standard NPT pipe threads on both ends. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this type of fitting wherever a short threaded section is needed to connect valves, tees, elbows, or other threaded components in a low-pressure piping assembly.

This nipple is well-suited for residential and light commercial gas piping, steam systems, water distribution, and hydronic heating installations. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets the demands of standard working pressures in these systems. The black iron finish is the industry standard for gas supply lines. It is sold individually and installs with standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant or PTFE tape approved for the intended service.

Key Features

• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards for structural and pressure pipe
• Black coating provides corrosion resistance and meets requirements for gas line service
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard working pressures
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves
• 1-1/2 inch nominal diameter, 5 inch length

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off gas supply or isolate the water system completely before cutting into any existing line. Apply thread sealant compound or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to prevent stress on upstream joints.
