Asc Engineered Solutions 8700147005 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700147005 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter and 3 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, the standard for threaded pipe connections in residential and commercial plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, in line with low-lead compliance requirements for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping systems where a short threaded connector is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. It performs in both above-ground and underground applications where galvanized pipe is the specified material. The 1/8 inch size is common in instrumentation taps, pilot lines, and low-flow branch connections in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed conditions
• Meets ASTM A/53 standards for welded and seamless steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard threaded connections
• Lead content on wetted surfaces does not exceed 0.25% weighted average, supporting low-lead compliance
• Welded steel construction for reliable pressure-rated performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment component for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems using 1/8 inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved pipe 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 distort threads.
