Asc Engineered Solutions 8700151551 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700151551 is a close-pattern welded steel pipe nipple in a 1-inch nominal size, finished with hot-dipped galvanization. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior plumbing applications. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, keeping the fitting compliant for potable water service. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, or pipe sections where a close or near-flush connection is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and general piping systems where Schedule 40 galvanized steel is specified. Close nipples are commonly used in tight-clearance installations such as valve clusters, manifolds, and meter connections. The hot-dipped galvanized finish makes it appropriate for both above-ground and exposed interior installations. It ships and is sold as an individual piece.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• Close pattern — minimal thread-to-thread length for tight-clearance installations
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• 1-inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• Lightweight at 0.14 pounds for easy single-hand installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1-inch Schedule 40 NPT threaded pipe systems using galvanized steel fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly — do not overtighten, as this can crack cast fittings or distort threads. For gas service, verify that the sealant used is rated for gas applications.
