Asc Engineered Solutions 8700147955 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700147955 is a welded steel pipe nipple finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating. It measures 1/4 inch in diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length, constructed to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, gas, and general plumbing service. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25% weighted average, meeting requirements for potable water applications. This nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is sold individually. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for use in threaded pipe systems carrying water, air, gas, or other compatible media. It is a standard close-to-long nipple used in supply lines, branch connections, and general plumbing rough-in work. The 1/4 inch size fits small-diameter runs common in gas pilot lines, pneumatic controls, and low-flow water service branches. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness matches standard threaded fittings across residential and commercial installations.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standard for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness for compatibility with common threaded fittings
• Lead content limited to no more than 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 threaded steel nipple for use with 1/4 inch NPT fittings in general plumbing, gas, and pneumatic pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service applies. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or crack cast iron components.
