Asc 8700150702 Galvanized Steel Nipple 3/4x5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700150702 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 3/4 inch diameter by 5 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, the standard for general-purpose threaded pipe assemblies in commercial and residential plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial piping. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor service. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, supporting compliance with low-lead installation requirements. The part meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe.

This nipple is suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose pipe assemblies where Schedule 40 threaded fittings are specified. Typical applications include close and short nipple connections in commercial mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility piping where hot-dipped galvanized steel is required by specification or local code. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pipe pressure ratings
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Wetted surface lead content limited to 0.25 percent weighted average maximum
• 3/4 inch diameter by 5 inch length for versatile short-run connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock nipple for Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems using 3/4 inch NPT fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical codes. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to all NPT threads before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any nipple. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or crack galvanized coatings at the thread interface.
