Asc 8700147807 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/4 X 4 In.

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700147807 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch diameter by 4 inches in length. It is manufactured from Schedule 40 standard pipe stock and finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating that meets ASTM A53 standards. The nipple is designed to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for installations where lead-restriction compliance is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a short threaded connector between valves, fittings, and equipment.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where galvanized steel pipe is the specified material. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping, and mechanical room connections. The 1/4 inch size is common in branch connections, instrument taps, and low-flow service lines. The 4 inch length suits close-quarter installations where a longer nipple or cut pipe would not fit. Hot-dipped galvanization provides corrosion resistance in exposed or damp environments.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness for full-pressure service ratings
• Lead content limited to 0.25 percent or less on wetted surfaces for compliant installations
• Welded steel construction for consistent wall integrity throughout the nipple body
• 1/4 inch NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems using 1/4 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
