Asc Engineered Solutions 8700149803 Galvanized Nipple 1/2x11

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700149803 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 11 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance and meets ASTM A53 standards. The part is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water and general service applications where lead content compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where threaded steel pipe connections are required. Common applications include water supply lines, fire sprinkler systems, gas distribution headers, and mechanical room piping. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard-pressure service in both above-ground and exposed interior installations. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides added protection in damp or corrosive environments where bare steel would degrade prematurely.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• 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 nominal diameter with 11 inch length for close-coupled threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading or removing any pipe components. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
