Asc 8700149407 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/2 X 4-1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700149407 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch diameter by 4-1/2 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating that provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor piping applications. This nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is produced with no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water systems where lead-content compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in residential and light commercial piping systems.

This nipple is a standard close-pattern threaded fitting used to connect sections of pipe in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. The hot-dipped galvanized finish extends service life in environments where moisture exposure is a concern. Its Schedule 40 wall rating makes it appropriate for standard-pressure residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping applications. Each unit is sold individually.
