Asc 8700151650 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1 in X 2.5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700151650 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in water supply, drainage, and general plumbing systems. It measures 1 inch in diameter by 2.5 inches in length and is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The pipe is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance and meets ASTM A/53 standards. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications where low-lead compliance is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a short connector between fittings, valves, and threaded pipe runs.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing installations, fire protection piping, and industrial threaded pipe assemblies. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it a standard-duty choice for typical pressure and flow conditions. Hot-dip galvanizing provides reliable service in corrosive or outdoor environments where bare steel would be prone to rust. It is sold individually and is well suited for both new construction and repair or replacement work on existing threaded galvanized systems.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A/53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness for typical plumbing pressure service
• 1 inch diameter by 2.5 inch length for short close-connection runs
• Welded steel construction for consistent wall integrity
• Low-lead compliant — no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 threaded galvanized pipe nipple for use with 1 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings in typical threaded galvanized piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using pipe wrenches and compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT threads. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Follow local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for approved materials in potable water service. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
