Asc Engineered Solutions 8700148508 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700148508 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch nominal diameter by 4 inches in length. It is manufactured from Schedule 40 standard pipe stock and finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating that meets ASTM A53 standards. The nipple is designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water supply, gas distribution, or general fluid conveyance lines. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, supporting compliance with low-lead requirements in potable water applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a short, close-coupled threaded connection is needed. Common applications include water supply risers, gas line branch connections, and general pipe extension work in mechanical rooms and utility spaces. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. It is sold and priced individually.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional integrity
• Lead content on wetted surfaces does not exceed 0.25 percent weighted average

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or extension nipple for 3/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local amendments. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
