Asc Engineered Solutions 8700149605 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700149605 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. Sized at 1/2 inch diameter and 7 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is hot-dip galvanized to provide corrosion resistance in wet and exposed installations. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-content compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems wherever a short threaded pipe extension is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping, fire protection systems, and general mechanical piping. The galvanized finish makes it well-suited for outdoor or corrosion-prone environments. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for common plumbing and HVAC service conditions.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
