Asc Engineered Solutions 8700144754 Black Iron Nipple 2x5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700144754 is a black iron pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, steam, and water distribution systems. Constructed from welded steel with a black coating to inhibit rust, this nipple measures 2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and cut to standard NPT pipe thread on both ends. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting as part of larger piping runs in both new construction and retrofit applications. It conforms to ASTM A53 standards, confirming it meets established requirements for welded and seamless steel pipe.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where Schedule 40 black iron is specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam heating distribution, and industrial fluid conveyance. The 2-inch diameter makes it a practical choice for main distribution lines and larger branch connections where flow capacity and pressure rating are priorities. It ships as a single unit and is compatible with standard threaded black iron fittings, valves, and couplings available in the same pipe size.

Key Features

• Black coated welded steel construction resists rust during service
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure applications
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for straightforward assembly
• Conforms to ASTM A53 requirements for welded steel pipe
• 2 inch diameter by 5 inch length for mid-range run segments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 black iron threaded piping systems using standard 2-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC and IPC requirements where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before disassembling or extending any threaded pipe run. Apply listed pipe thread compound or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before make-up. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
