Asc Engineered Solutions 8700146858 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700146858 is a welded steel close nipple finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating, sized at 1/8 inch nominal pipe diameter by 1-1/2 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness and conforms to ASTM A53 specifications. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior pipe system applications. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, supporting compliance in potable water and general plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in and repair work across residential and commercial systems.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply, gas distribution, compressed air, and general fluid conveyance systems where Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe is specified. The 1/8 inch size makes it a practical choice for branch connections, instrumentation taps, and low-flow service lines. It is sold individually and typically used alongside standard threaded fittings in conventional pipe assemblies.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Welded steel construction to ASTM A53 standard
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness
• 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 1-1/2 inch length
• Wetted surface lead content held to 0.25% weighted average maximum

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe systems using 1/8 inch NPT threaded fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT threads. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant per the sealant manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing code requirements such as the IPC or IFGC. Do not over-torque small-diameter nipples, as stress cracking at the thread roots can result.
