Asc Engineered Solutions 8700147658 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700147658 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness and finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating that meets ASTM A53 requirements. The nipple connects threaded pipe runs in water supply, gas, and general plumbing systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications where low-lead compliance is required. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in both residential and light commercial work.

This nipple is used in threaded pipe assemblies across a wide range of applications including domestic water distribution, compressed air lines, fire suppression rough-in, and general industrial pipe runs. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or damp environments. At 1/4 inch nominal diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length, it fits standard close-quarter connections where a short threaded extension or coupling offset is needed. It is sold individually and is a stock replacement in maintenance, repair, and operations contexts.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness for full-pressure service ratings
• Low-lead compliant: no more than 0.25% weighted average lead on wetted surfaces
• Welded steel construction for consistent thread engagement and pressure integrity
• 1/4 inch nominal diameter x 2-1/2 inch length for compact threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 threaded pipe nipple compatible with 1/4 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and compressed air piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before making up the joint. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a snug, leak-free connection without over-torquing the fitting. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple in a live system.
