Asc Engineered Solutions 831016803 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831016803 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. At 1/2 inch by 7 inches, this close-cut nipple provides a short, rigid threaded extension between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and damp environments, making it a reliable choice for water supply lines, low-pressure gas runs, and general mechanical piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a standard component in both new construction and repair work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 1/2-inch NPT threaded connection is required. Typical uses include connecting valves to supply lines, extending threaded pipe runs through walls or panels, and fitting out water distribution headers. The 7-inch length accommodates spacing requirements that close or short nipples cannot reach. Galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exposed or semi-exposed installations where moisture contact is likely.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and damp service conditions
• 1/2 inch NPT threaded ends for standard pipe system compatibility
• 7-inch body length suits applications requiring reach beyond close or short nipple options
• Lightweight at 0.47 pounds, reducing handling effort during installation
• Import product suitable for general-purpose mechanical, plumbing, and gas piping work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-inch NPT threaded pipe nipple for use in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems where galvanized steel fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with proper backup to avoid stressing adjacent fittings or valves.
