Asc Engineered Solutions 831028808 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831028808 is a galvanized steel close-pattern pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches by 3 inches. It serves as a short threaded connector between pipe fittings, valves, and equipment in plumbing, HVAC, and general piping systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed service conditions. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this nipple as a standard threaded component in iron pipe systems. At 0.45 pounds, it is a lightweight but durable fitting suited for routine maintenance and new construction work.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping installations where a 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded connection is required with a 3-inch center-to-end length. Common applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping, heating system connections, and general mechanical plumbing assemblies. It is imported stock and appropriate for jobs where domestic-certified material is not a specification requirement. Plumbing and mechanical contractors reach for this size frequently in boiler rooms, utility rooms, and mechanical chases.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• 1-1/4 inch by 3 inch dimensions suit standard NPT threaded piping systems
• Lightweight at 0.45 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Import designation suits projects without domestic-material requirements
• Standard threaded ends connect to pipe fittings, unions, valves, and equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the service. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort seating surfaces.
