Sized at 1\/4 inch nominal diameter and 6 inches in length, this Schedule 40 standard-wall nipple meets ASTM A53 specifications. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water systems where lead-restriction compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple in threaded pipe assemblies across residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing piping systems where a short, threaded connector is needed between fittings, valves, or fixtures. The 1\/4-inch nominal size suits branch lines, instrumentation connections, and low-flow service runs. Hot-dipped galvanizing provides a heavier zinc coating compared to electroplated alternatives, extending service life in damp or outdoor installations. It is sold individually and installs in any standard NPT threaded system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM A53 standard for welded steel pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 standard-wall construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch nominal diameter x 6 inch length with NPT male threads on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard NPT threaded plumbing and gas piping systems using Schedule 40 pipe fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading the nipple into fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or damage threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot-Dipped Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A53\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Lead Content (Wetted Surfaces)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25% weighted average\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.212 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700148003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345154769202,"sku":"8700148003","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547498.jpg?v=1782050673","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700148003-galvanized-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
