Asc Engineered Solutions 8700144556 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700144556 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple used in threaded pipe assemblies across residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Constructed from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion, this nipple measures 2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length with standard NPT threads on both ends. Weighing 0.682 pounds, it meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe, making it a dependable choice for gas lines, steam systems, and general-purpose piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness is required.

This nipple is suited for threaded pipe installations in residential gas supply lines, commercial HVAC piping, steam heating systems, and industrial mechanical applications. The black iron finish is standard for gas distribution piping where galvanized fittings are not permitted. It is sold individually and is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with low-pressure gas or steam systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded pipe applications
• Black coating provides corrosion resistance for gas and steam service
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves
• 2-inch diameter by 3-inch length — a common close-nipple size for tight-clearance runs
• Sold individually with no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 black iron threaded nipple for use with NPT-threaded black iron and malleable iron fittings, valves, and pipe in gas distribution and general mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping or ASME B31 standards for pressure piping. Shut off and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
