Asc Engineered Solutions 8700147559 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700147559 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in Schedule 40 threaded piping systems. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length, this nipple provides a short, reliable threaded connection between pipe fittings, valves, and other components. The hot-dipped galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Manufactured to ASTM A/53 standards, it meets industry requirements for structural and pressure-rated pipe applications. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for potable water systems where lead-restriction compliance is required.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping installations where a 1/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded connection is specified. It is commonly used in water supply lines, compressed air systems, and low-pressure gas piping. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both new construction and retrofit applications.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• Meets ASTM A/53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• Lead content limited to no more than 0.25 percent on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• 1/4-inch diameter by 1-1/2-inch length for compact threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized pipe systems using 1/4-inch NPT fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working with threaded galvanized pipe systems. Shut off water, gas, or air supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads per IPC or IFGC requirements before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
