Asc Engineered Solutions 8700150959 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700150959 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 3/4 inch nominal diameter by 9 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and meets ASTM A53 standards for welded and seamless steel pipe. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or exposed environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications where low-lead compliance is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a close-coupled connector between fittings, valves, and equipment in threaded piping systems.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, steam, and mechanical piping systems where galvanized threaded connections are specified. Its 9-inch length makes it a common choice when a short, fixed-length section is needed between two threaded components. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers working on supply lines, mechanical rooms, or industrial piping assemblies that require a Schedule 40 galvanized steel connector.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed installations
• Meets ASTM A53 standard for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded piping systems
• Low-lead construction with no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces
• 3/4 inch nominal diameter by 9 inches in length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation threaded pipe nipple compatible with 3/4 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
