Asc Engineered Solutions 8700147302 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700147302 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 6 inches in length. It is manufactured from Schedule 40 steel pipe and finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating that meets ASTM A53 standards. The nipple is rated for use in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems where corrosion resistance is required. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and commercial systems.

This nipple is used in threaded pipe assemblies where a short male-threaded extension is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Its 1/8-inch nominal size suits low-flow branch lines, instrumentation taps, gauge connections, and small-diameter service runs. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exposed or semi-exposed installations where bare steel would be susceptible to surface corrosion.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion protection
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pipe applications
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional tolerances
• 1/8-inch nominal diameter by 6-inch length for compact threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard trade fitting for threaded Schedule 40 pipe systems using 1/8-inch nominal NPT connections in plumbing and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections on small-diameter nipples, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
