Asc Engineered Solutions 8700148409 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700148409 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in standard threaded pipe assemblies. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance and meets ASTM A53 standards. It is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-content compliance is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when connecting threaded pipe runs in residential and commercial piping systems.

This nipple is a common component in water supply, industrial, and general plumbing applications. The 3/8 inch by 3 inch size fits standard close-quarters connections where a short threaded extension is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides added protection in wet or mildly corrosive environments. It is sold individually and suited for use wherever Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe fittings are specified.
