Asc Engineered Solutions 8700150405 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700150405 is a 3/4-inch by 2-inch welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in water supply, irrigation, and general plumbing distribution systems. Hot-dip galvanized to resist corrosion, this Schedule 40 nipple meets ASTM A53 standards for structural and pressure-rated pipe. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25% weighted average, keeping the fitting compliant with low-lead requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple to make close connections between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe sections in both new construction and retrofit work.

This galvanized nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where corrosion resistance and schedule 40 wall thickness are required. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping where galvanized steel is permitted by local code, and general mechanical systems requiring standard NPT threaded connections. Its compact 2-inch length makes it well suited for tight-space connections and offset runs between fittings.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish provides durable corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure applications
• Low-lead compliant: no more than 0.25% weighted average lead on wetted surfaces
• 3/4-inch NPT threaded ends for compatibility with standard fittings and valves
• Compact 2-inch body length for close-quarter and offset connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply fitting for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems using 3/4-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly, and tighten with pipe wrenches to avoid cross-threading or over-torquing the fitting. Do not use galvanized steel pipe in systems where local code prohibits it for the intended service fluid.
