Asc Engineered Solutions 8700151700 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700151700 is a welded steel pipe nipple finished with hot-dipped galvanization for corrosion resistance in demanding plumbing and piping applications. Sized at 1 inch by 3 inches and manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple meets ASTM A53 standards for structural and pressure-rated pipe use. The galvanized coating provides long-term protection against rust in both indoor and outdoor installations. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, supporting compliance with lead-free plumbing requirements in potable water systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, gas distribution lines, and general mechanical piping where a short threaded connector is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. The 1-inch diameter and 3-inch length make it a common choice for close-coupled connections in water supply, heating, and industrial fluid transfer applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers in systems requiring threaded galvanized pipe assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
