Asc Engineered Solutions 8700151601 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700151601 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 1 inch by 2 inches. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard pipe dimensions and meets ASTM A53 requirements. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in water and general-purpose piping systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting in both residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is suited for threaded pipe assemblies in water supply, drainage, and general plumbing distribution systems. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness and ASTM A53 compliance make it a standard choice for low- to medium-pressure service lines. Typical applications include connecting valves, fittings, and fixtures in residential and commercial plumbing rough-in work where a short threaded extension is needed between components.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet service environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standard for welded steel pipe

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code or local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
