Asc Engineered Solutions 8700148151 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700148151 is a Schedule 40 welded steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, it is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance and meets ASTM A53 standards. The nipple is manufactured with no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it compliant with lead-free requirements for potable water and mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a threaded, Schedule 40 connection is required. Common applications include water supply lines, gas distribution headers, compressed air systems, and general mechanical piping. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides added protection against rust in exposed or damp environments, extending service life in demanding conditions.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure service
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional tolerances
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces for code compliance
• 0.25-inch nominal diameter by 12-inch length for close or extension nipple applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using standard NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical codes. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
