Asc Engineered Solutions 8700150652 Galvanized Nipple 3/4 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700150652 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple rated to Schedule 40 specifications. It measures 3/4 inch in diameter and 4.5 inches in length, making it a standard close-to-short nipple used to extend or connect threaded pipe runs. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Manufactured to ASTM A53 standards, this nipple also meets low-lead compliance requirements, with no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This galvanized pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, fire suppression, and general-purpose fluid conveyance systems where threaded Schedule 40 steel pipe is specified. It is commonly used in supply lines, branch connections, and riser assemblies. The 3/4-inch size is among the most frequently specified diameters in domestic water distribution and hydronic heating rough-in work. Its hot-dip galvanized finish makes it appropriate for wet or damp environments where bare steel would be prone to rust.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standard for welded and seamless steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure plumbing and mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3/4-inch NPT threaded Schedule 40 steel pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
