Asc Engineered Solutions 8700149001 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700149001 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Sized at 3/8 inch nominal diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple connects pipe sections, fittings, and valves in threaded assemblies. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, supporting compliance with lead-free installation requirements in potable water systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection, and general mechanical piping. It is commonly installed in supply lines, branch connections, and equipment tie-ins where a threaded steel nipple is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically specify this type of fitting in Schedule 40 black or galvanized piping assemblies. It is sold individually and fits standard NPT threaded fittings.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure piping applications
• Lead content limited to 0.25 percent or less on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• 3/8 inch nominal diameter, 12 inch length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 40 threaded steel piping systems using NPT connections in plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to a proper thread engagement without over-torquing. Inspect threads for damage before installation to prevent leaks.
