Asc Engineered Solutions 8700144507 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700144507 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to inhibit rust, this nipple measures 2 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length with standard NPT pipe threads on both ends. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of close-nipple runs, drop nipples, and extension connections in both above-ground and mechanical-room applications. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard-pressure service in residential and commercial installations.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial gas supply lines, steam systems, water distribution piping, and HVAC hydronic runs where a short threaded steel fitting is required. The black iron finish indicates this fitting is not intended for potable water service in most jurisdictions. It is commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility piping where threaded steel construction is specified or required by code.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded pipe service
• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards
• Black coating applied to inhibit rust and corrosion
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• 2 inches x 2.5 inches nominal size for short-run extension connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using 2-inch nominal pipe fittings, couplings, valves, and other NPT-threaded components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning any threaded pipe work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not use black iron fittings for potable water service without confirming local code compliance.
