Asc Engineered Solutions 8700147856 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700147856 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard-wall specifications. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to wet and outdoor environments. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water and general plumbing use. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping assemblies where threaded Schedule 40 steel pipe is specified. Common applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping, fire protection systems, and general mechanical piping. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for exposed or damp locations where bare steel would corrode prematurely. It connects standard NPT-threaded fittings and is sold individually.

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 supply line before threading or replacing any nipple. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections.
