Asc 8700153508 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in X 12 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700153508 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, making it suitable for standard-pressure liquid and gas distribution applications. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for exposed or mildly corrosive environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, meeting requirements for potable water installations.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing rough-in, hydronic heating systems, fire suppression piping, and general mechanical piping where threaded steel connections are required. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on Schedule 40 threaded steel systems. The 1-1/4-inch size is a common branch and main line diameter in both domestic water and gas distribution configurations.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exposed or wet environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
