Asc Engineered Solutions 8700147609 Galvanized Nipple 1/4x2

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700147609 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 1/4 inch nominal diameter and 2 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard pipe dimensions, providing consistent wall thickness and thread engagement for reliable connections. The galvanized coating meets ASTM A53 standards, and lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water and general plumbing applications. Plumbers and pipefitters use this nipple to extend, offset, or connect threaded pipe runs in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including water supply lines, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping where a short threaded galvanized fitting is required. Its compact 2-inch length makes it useful in tight spaces and close-coupled connections. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or mildly corrosive environments. It is sold individually and is suited for use with standard NPT fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure-rated threaded connections
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces
• 1/4 inch nominal diameter x 2 inch length for compact, close-coupled installations
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for threaded galvanized pipe systems using NPT connections in Schedule 40 configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten with pipe wrenches to achieve a leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage threads or cause stress cracking in connected fittings.
