Asc Engineered Solutions 8700144853 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700144853 is a black iron pipe nipple manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion. Sized at 2 inches by 6 inches and rated Schedule 40, this nipple is built to standard NPT thread specifications and meets ASTM A53 requirements. It is a close-tolerance threaded fitting used to connect sections of pipe in gas, steam, air, and water distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where a durable, code-compliant threaded connection is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems, including natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and compressed air distribution. The Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service in standard pipe configurations. It is commonly installed at equipment connections, at union joints, and between valves and pipe runs where a short threaded male-to-male section is needed.

Key Features

• Welded steel construction meets ASTM A53 standards for structural and pressure service
• Black coating provides corrosion resistance for extended service life
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure applications
• Standard NPT thread on both ends for straightforward threaded assembly
• 2-inch by 6-inch dimensions suit a wide range of common pipe configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2-inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes such as the IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench. Do not over-torque, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
