Asc 8700149654 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/2 X 8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700149654 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in water, gas, and general plumbing piping systems. Sized at 1/2 inch nominal diameter and 8 inches in length, it is Schedule 40 standard wall pipe with hot-dipped galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water applications where local codes permit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, fire protection, and industrial piping applications where a short threaded extension or close connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. The galvanized finish is suited for both indoor and outdoor installations where the pipe may be exposed to moisture. Its 1/2 inch nominal size fits standard NPT threaded fittings across a wide range of system configurations.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standard for welded and seamless steel pipe
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness for typical working pressure applications
• Lead content limited to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average on wetted surfaces
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with common plumbing fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1/2 inch NPT threaded plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems using Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
