Close nipples have threads running the full length of the fitting with no unthreaded center section, making them the right choice when two fittings need to be joined with minimal separation. This nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. It is produced with no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, which is consistent with lead-free compliance requirements for potable water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install these fittings in low-pressure gas, water, and general industrial piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping applications where a short, threaded steel connection is required. The 1\/8-inch nominal pipe size fits at the small end of standard piping systems and is commonly found in gas appliance connections, compressed air lines, and water supply branch lines. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately humid environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in plumbing and gas applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead content limited to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average on wetted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose pattern — fully threaded with no bare center section\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch nominal pipe size for small-diameter branch and appliance connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock fitting for Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using 1\/8-inch NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings downstream or distort the threads on small-diameter nipples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Schedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot-Dipped Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A53\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Content (Wetted Surfaces)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 percent maximum weighted average\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700146809\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345277190450,"sku":"8700146809","price":20.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547545.jpg?v=1782053734","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700146809-galvanized-close-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
