Asc Engineered Solutions 8700148607 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700148607 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It measures 3/8 inch nominal pipe size by 5 inches in length and is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard wall specifications. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both wet and dry service environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, meeting requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in new construction and retrofit piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping. Its 3/8 inch size fits standard threaded fittings, valves, and couplings across a wide range of system configurations. The Schedule 40 wall thickness handles typical working pressures found in domestic water and low-pressure gas lines. It is commonly used as a close-to-medium length connector between fittings, valves, or equipment ports.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor service
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness for typical working pressure ratings
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Lead content limited to 0.25 percent maximum on wetted surfaces, suitable for potable water use
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard stock fitting for 3/8 inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections on galvanized nipples, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
