Asc Engineered Solutions 8700150850 Galvanized Nipple 3/4x7

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700150850 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems. Manufactured to Schedule 40 dimensions, this nipple measures 3/4 inches in diameter and 7 inches in length. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both above-ground and below-ground installations. It meets ASTM A/53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for use in potable water and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where a short threaded connection between fittings or valves is required. The 3/4-inch size is a common dimension in domestic water supply, irrigation, and low-pressure gas piping. It connects standard NPT-threaded fittings and is compatible with galvanized malleable iron and steel fittings of the same pipe size.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• Meets ASTM A/53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty applications
• Lead content limited to 0.25 percent maximum on wetted surfaces
• NPT threaded ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded Schedule 40 galvanized piping systems using 3/4-inch NPT connections in plumbing, mechanical, and gas distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
