Asc Engineered Solutions 8700147757 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700147757 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe systems requiring a short, rigid close connection between fittings or components. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 3-1/2 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and hot-dip galvanized to meet ASTM A53 standards. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or exposed environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications where local codes permit.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where Schedule 40 threaded fittings are specified. It is a standard component in water supply lines, irrigation laterals, compressed air runs, and similar low-pressure piping assemblies. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple wherever a short threaded connection is needed between valves, couplings, or other threaded pipe fittings.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded pipe applications
• Welded steel construction provides consistent dimensional integrity
• Lead content limited to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average on wetted surfaces
• 1/4 inch NPT thread size fits standard threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for the intended service — potable water, gas, or air — to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort the thread engagement.
