Asc Engineered Solutions 8700149852 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700149852 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 1/2 inch diameter by 12 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and meets ASTM A53 standards for steel pipe. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial piping systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, in line with lead-free compliance requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and general mechanical piping applications. It is commonly used to connect valves, fittings, and fixtures in threaded piping assemblies. The Schedule 40 wall thickness and galvanized finish make it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where moisture or mild corrosive conditions are present. It is sold as an individual piece.
