Asc Engineered Solutions 8700146957 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700146957 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard wall pipe dimensions and finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating that meets ASTM A53 standards. The nipple is designed to connect threaded pipe sections in supply and distribution piping systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications where low-lead compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems where Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe is specified. It is appropriate for water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose fluid conveyance applications that call for a galvanized steel fitting at 1/8 inch nominal pipe size. The short 2-1/2 inch length makes it well suited for close-quarter connections between fittings, valves, or equipment threaded ports.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness for full-rated working pressure at this pipe size
• Low-lead compliant — wetted surfaces contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content
• Welded steel construction for consistent wall integrity along the pipe body
• 1/8 inch NPT nominal size by 2-1/2 inch length for compact threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel nipple for use with 1/8 inch NPT fittings, valves, and pipe in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading or removing any fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack adjacent cast fittings or damage threads.
