Asc Engineered Solutions 8700150355 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700150355 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dip galvanized finish, sized at 3/4 inch by 1-1/2 inch. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and meets ASTM A53 standards for structural and pressure applications. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water systems where lead restrictions apply. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a close connector between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe runs in both residential and commercial piping systems.

This nipple is used in water supply, drainage, and general-purpose pipe assemblies where a short threaded male connector is required. Schedule 40 sizing makes it compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves across residential plumbing, light commercial mechanical systems, fire protection rough-in, and irrigation supply lines. Its galvanized finish suits both indoor and outdoor installations where bare steel would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for compatibility with standard NPT threaded fittings
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• 3/4 inch by 1-1/2 inch dimensions suit tight-clearance connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 NPT threaded pipe nipple for use with compatible 3/4 inch threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to bring threads to proper engagement without over-torquing. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or replacing any nipple in an active line.
