Asc 8700147054 Galvanized Steel Nipple 1/8 X 3.5 In.

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700147054 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness and finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating that meets ASTM A53 requirements. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications where low-lead compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a short threaded male connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Common applications include water supply lines, steam systems, compressed air headers, and gas branch piping. The 1/8-inch nominal size is typically found in instrument taps, gauge connections, pilot lines, and other small-bore service runs.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standard for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 standard wall construction for typical working pressures in mechanical systems
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Low-lead compliant: no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces
• 1/8-inch nominal diameter by 3-1/2-inch length for short close-nipple connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel nipple compatible with NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in water, gas, steam, and compressed air piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
