Asc Engineered Solutions 8700144655 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700144655 is a Schedule 40 black iron pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping applications. Measuring 2 inches in diameter by 4 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion. It meets ASTM A53 standards, confirming it is suitable for pressure and mechanical applications. Standard NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to compatible fittings and valves. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with black iron pipe systems will find this a straightforward, code-conforming component.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and commercial gas piping, steam systems, compressed air lines, and water distribution where black iron pipe is specified. The 2-inch diameter and 4-inch length make it a frequently specified close-coupled connector between fittings, unions, valves, and other threaded components. It is sold individually and is well suited for service, repair, and new installation work where Schedule 40 black iron is the required material.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets ASTM A53 standard for pressure and mechanical service
• Welded steel construction with black coating for corrosion resistance
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded iron fittings
• 2-inch nominal diameter by 4-inch length for close-coupled connections
• Sold individually (each unit weight approximately 0.94 pounds)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Schedule 40 black iron threaded pipe systems using 2-inch nominal diameter fittings, valves, and couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and IPC requirements. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing threaded pipe components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench to avoid stressing adjacent fittings.
