Asc Engineered Solutions 8700150801 Galvanized Nipple 3/4x6

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700150801 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 3/4 inch diameter by 6 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, making it suitable for standard-pressure piping applications in water, gas, and general-purpose systems. The galvanizing process meets ASTM A53 standards, providing corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, keeping the fitting within accepted guidelines for potable water contact. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection piping, and industrial process lines where a short threaded connection is required between fittings, valves, or equipment. The 6-inch length provides enough thread engagement and exposed body to serve as a close extension between components. It is sold individually and is a standard stocking item for service vans and shop inventory.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional integrity
• Lead content on wetted surfaces does not exceed 0.25 percent weighted average
• 3/4 inch x 6 inch size fits common residential and commercial pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 threaded galvanized nipple compatible with 3/4 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings used in plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and general mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Follow local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements when used in gas piping applications. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
