A close nipple is threaded along its entire length with no unthreaded center section, making it the shortest possible pipe extension between two threaded fittings. This fitting meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for wet or exposed installations. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25 percent by weighted average, making it suitable for potable water systems where low-lead compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, gas distribution, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The 3\/4 inch nominal pipe size is one of the most common sizes in supply lines, branch connections, and riser applications. It is appropriate for use where two threaded fittings must be joined with minimal spacing between them, such as valve-to-fitting connections and manifold assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM A53 standard for welded and seamless steel pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose pattern — fully threaded with no bare center, minimizing installed length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-lead construction with no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead on wetted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3\/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, hydronic heating, and gas piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint; do not apply sealant to the first two threads. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Do not over-tighten — use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the adjacent fitting to avoid stressing downstream connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Close (fully threaded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded steel, hot-dipped galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A53\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Content (wetted surfaces)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 percent maximum weighted average\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.098 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700150306\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346513822002,"sku":"8700150306","price":23.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547573.jpg?v=1782082428","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700150306-3-4-in-close-nipple-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
