Asc 8700152757 Galvanized Close Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700152757 is a 1-1/4 inch close nipple made from welded steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. Close nipples are fully threaded end to end with no unthreaded center section, making them the right choice when two fittings need to be joined with minimal space between them. This nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. It is suited for plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping installations where a corrosion-resistant threaded connection is required. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, supporting compliance with lead-free requirements in potable water systems.

This close nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where space between fittings is limited. Typical applications include water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general-purpose mechanical piping. The hot-dipped galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple when connecting two female-threaded fittings back to back or when a standard-length nipple would add unwanted pipe run length.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty piping applications
• Fully threaded close pattern eliminates unthreaded center section
• Lead content limited to no more than 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT female fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting compatible with 1-1/4 inch NPT female-threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements. Use a pipe wrench and thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for steel pipe on all NPT connections. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid supply before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
