Asc Engineered Solutions 8700147104 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700147104 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems. Measuring 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 4 inches in length, this Schedule 40 standard-wall nipple is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for use in systems where lead compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where a short, threaded steel connector is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Common uses include water supply lines, compressed air headers, gas distribution systems, and general mechanical piping. The galvanized finish extends service life in moisture-prone or outdoor-adjacent installations. At 1/8 inch nominal size, this nipple is well suited for low-flow branch lines, instrumentation taps, and small-diameter piping runs.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 for corrosion protection in wet service environments
• Schedule 40 standard-wall construction for full-thread engagement on both ends
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces for compliance-sensitive applications
• Welded steel construction provides consistent wall thickness and dimensional accuracy
• 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 4 inches in length for compact threaded connections

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements depending on the service fluid. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
