Asc Engineered Solutions 8700148300 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700148300 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter by 2 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is hot-dip galvanized to resist corrosion in both indoor and outdoor environments. It meets ASTM A/53 standards for structural and pressure-rated steel pipe, and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water applications where local codes permit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a short threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Common uses include water supply lines, gas distribution systems, and general-purpose pipe runs. The galvanized finish adds service life in environments with moderate moisture exposure. Sold individually, it integrates directly into standard NPT threaded systems without modification.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard pressure applications
• Meets ASTM A/53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Lead content limited to 0.25 percent maximum on wetted surfaces
• NPT threaded ends for direct integration into standard threaded pipe systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Schedule 40 NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping installations.

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) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
