Asc Engineered Solutions 8700149308 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700149308 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical systems. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 3-1/2 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A53 standards, providing corrosion resistance in wet and exposed installations. 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. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This nipple fits standard threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, fire protection, gas distribution, and mechanical piping. The 1/2-inch size is commonly used for branch lines, riser connections, and close-coupled fittings. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for typical building service piping applications.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure applications
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional integrity
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• 1/2 inch x 3-1/2 inch dimensions suit common branch and connection applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1/2-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before cutting into any existing piping. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or deform threads.
