Asc 8700154050 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in X 2-1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154050 is a hot-dipped galvanized welded steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in water supply, plumbing distribution, and general piping systems. It measures 1-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches and is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, conforming to ASTM A53 standards. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both above-ground and typical indoor wet service applications. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to a weighted average of no more than 0.25 percent, supporting compliance with low-lead installation requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in commercial and residential systems alike.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, water distribution, and mechanical piping systems where threaded galvanized steel connections are specified. It is commonly used to close gaps between fittings, extend runs, or transition between valves and pipe sections. The Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard-pressure domestic water and general-purpose piping applications where galvanized steel is the material of choice.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet service environments
• Conforms to ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure applications
• Wetted surface lead content of 0.25 percent weighted average maximum, supporting low-lead compliance
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with 2-1/2 inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems using 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on male threads and tighten with pipe wrenches to a firm, leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
