Asc Engineered Solutions 831016209 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831016209 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports in piping assemblies. This nipple is manufactured from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and light commercial applications where a close or short extension between fittings is required.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, natural gas and propane distribution systems, compressed air lines, and general industrial piping where galvanized steel fittings are specified. The 1/2 inch diameter and 5-1/2 inch length make it a common size for branch connections, equipment tie-ins, and riser extensions. It is an imported fitting appropriate for standard threaded piping assemblies governed by applicable plumbing and mechanical codes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly.
