Asc Engineered Solutions 8700146908 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700146908 is a 1/8-inch by 2-inch welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard pipe dimensions, making it a common close-to-standard-length fitting used in threaded piping assemblies. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications. This nipple meets ASTM A/53 standards and is manufactured with no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, supporting compliance with low-lead installation requirements. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe systems in a wide range of commercial and residential projects.

This nipple is suited for use in water distribution, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping systems where threaded galvanized steel connections are specified. Its small 1/8-inch nominal pipe size makes it appropriate for branch lines, instrument connections, and low-flow service lines. The hot-dipped galvanized finish extends service life in damp or corrosive environments compared to bare steel. It is sold and typically ordered in quantities consistent with trade supply applications.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A/53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded piping systems
• Low-lead compliant: no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces
• Welded steel construction for reliable pressure-rated performance
• 1/8-inch nominal pipe size by 2-inch length for compact threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the applicable edition of the IPC or IFGC depending on service type. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections on small-diameter nipples, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
