Asc Engineered Solutions 8700149753 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700149753 is a welded steel pipe nipple finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 10 inches in length, it is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty service. The galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards, and the nipple is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, supporting compliance in potable water and plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in threaded pipe assemblies across residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing piping systems where a threaded steel connection is required. The Schedule 40 wall thickness accommodates standard working pressures found in residential and commercial installations. The 10-inch length fills close-to-medium offset runs between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. The hot-dipped galvanized coating provides protection in exposed or moderately corrosive environments.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion protection
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping service
• Welded steel construction for reliable structural integrity
• Low-lead compliant — no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces
• 1/2 inch nominal diameter with NPT-compatible threaded ends
• 10-inch body length suits medium offset connections in threaded assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 threaded steel piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and gas distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
