Asc 831002001 Galvanized Steel Nipple 1/8 X 5-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831002001 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch by 5-1/2 inches. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. This nipple is manufactured from galvanized steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and general-purpose piping applications. It is a standard component installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians when assembling or extending threaded pipe systems.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a short threaded connector is needed between two female-threaded components. Common applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, gas piping, and HVAC condensate or auxiliary piping. The 1/8 inch nominal pipe size makes it appropriate for low-flow or instrument lines within larger piping networks.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose piping service
• 1/8 inch nominal pipe size with 5-1/2 inch overall length
• Externally threaded on both ends for standard NPT connections
• Lightweight at 0.10 pounds per unit, simplifying handling in tight spaces
• Import-sourced fitting suitable for non-critical piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement nipple for use in residential and commercial threaded pipe systems requiring a 1/8 inch by 5-1/2 inch galvanized steel fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to a leak-free connection without over-torquing the fitting. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the service type.
