Asc Engineered Solutions 8700151858 Galvanized Nipple 1x4.5in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700151858 is a welded steel close nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 1 inch diameter by 4-1/2 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, meeting ASTM A/53 standards for structural and pressure-rated pipe applications. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or outdoor-exposed systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces does not exceed 0.25% weighted average, meeting low-lead compliance requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a short threaded connector in water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe is specified. Typical applications include water supply headers, threaded pipe runs, riser assemblies, and branch connections in above-ground or indoor installations. The 1-inch diameter accommodates standard flow demands in supply and distribution lines. It ships as an individual piece with no minimum order quantity beyond one unit.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for threaded steel pipe
• Meets ASTM A/53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Low-lead compliant: no more than 0.25% weighted average lead on wetted surfaces
• NPT-threaded ends for standard pipe fitting connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe fittings and systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage fitting threads or crack cast iron fittings.
