Asc 8700148805 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple 3/8 X 8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700148805 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inches by 8 inches, used for threaded pipe assembly in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. The nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard-wall dimensions and features a hot-dipped galvanized finish that meets ASTM A53 requirements. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a short, threaded male connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping where galvanized is code-acceptable, and mechanical room piping assemblies. It is sold individually and connects using standard NPT threads.
