Asc Engineered Solutions 8700150454 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700150454 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch by 2-1/2 inches. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating that meets ASTM A53 standards. The nipple connects sections of piping in water, gas, and general mechanical systems and is a standard fitting stocked by plumbing and HVAC contractors for close-coupled connections. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications where applicable codes permit.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping installations where a short threaded extension or close connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping, compressed air systems, and heating system pipe runs. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately corrosive environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
