Asc Engineered Solutions 8700150603 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700150603 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe fittings in water, gas, and general plumbing systems. Sized at 3/4 inch diameter by 4 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-content compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in residential and light commercial piping assemblies.

This galvanized nipple fits standard threaded pipe systems and is suited for use in water distribution, irrigation, fire protection, and general mechanical piping. The 3/4 inch size is common in residential supply lines, branch connections, and riser assemblies. The 4 inch length accommodates close-quarter connections where a longer nipple or cut pipe would not fit cleanly. It is sold individually and applies wherever NPT-threaded galvanized fittings are specified.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized exterior for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure applications
• Meets ASTM A53 welded steel pipe standard
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• 3/4 inch diameter by 4 inch length with NPT threads on both ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded galvanized pipe systems using 3/4 inch Schedule 40 fittings and pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the service fluid to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
