Asc 831029806 Galvanized Nipple 1-1/4 in X 5-1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831029806 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches by 5-1/2 inches. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. This nipple is manufactured from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance suited for water supply, hydronic heating, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install nipples as part of threaded piping assemblies across residential and light commercial jobsites.

This nipple is appropriate for use in threaded pipe systems requiring a 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size connection with a 5-1/2-inch center-to-end length. It is commonly used in water distribution, hydronic heating loops, fire protection headers, and gas piping where galvanized steel fittings are permitted by local code. The galvanized finish makes it a practical choice for exposed or semi-exposed piping runs where bare steel would be susceptible to surface corrosion.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and mechanical piping environments
• 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size with 5-1/2-inch overall length
• Externally threaded both ends for standard NPT threaded connections
• Weighs 0.93 pounds per piece for easy handling on the job
• Import-sourced fitting suitable for non-critical commercial and residential mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fitting for 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC, IFGC, or local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage sealing surfaces.
