Asc 8700152955 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in X 3-1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700152955 is a hot-dip galvanized welded steel pipe nipple used to create short threaded connections in water supply, plumbing distribution, and general piping systems. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness and manufactured in compliance with ASTM A53 standards, this nipple delivers reliable corrosion resistance and structural integrity in both wet and dry service applications. The galvanized coating provides long-term protection against rust in exposed or moisture-prone environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for potable water systems where lead-content compliance is required.

This nipple is a standard trade fitting used in residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in, mechanical rooms, fire protection branches, and industrial pipe runs. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple wherever a close or short extension between two threaded fittings is needed. The 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size and 3-1/2 inch length make it well suited for branch connections, riser transitions, and valve make-up in both new construction and repair work.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 for corrosion resistance in wet service environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness provides standard pressure ratings for residential and commercial piping
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional tolerance and thread engagement
• Lead content limited to 0.25 percent weighted average on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• 1-1/4 inch nominal diameter x 3-1/2 inch length for short threaded make-up connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard trade fitting for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems using 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe nipple. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
