Asc Engineered Solutions 8700146056 Black Pipe Nipple 3x6 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700146056 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple sized at 3 inches by 6 inches. Pipe nipples are short lengths of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other components in piping assemblies. This nipple is manufactured domestically and is suited for gas distribution, steam, air, and water systems commonly serviced by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides standard pressure ratings appropriate for a wide range of trade applications. Black steel construction makes it well matched for natural gas and propane supply lines where galvanized fittings are not specified.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a short close or hex nipple is too short but a full-length pipe run is not required. Typical install scenarios include gas appliance rough-in, boiler piping assemblies, compressed air headers, and steam distribution drops. It ships in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for multi-point installations or contractor stocking.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where required. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any piping. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe-thread tape rated for the intended service medium before makeup. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
