Asc Engineered Solutions 8700151908 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700151908 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter and 5 inches in length. Manufactured to Schedule 40 standard pipe dimensions, it is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments. This nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is produced with no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water and plumbing applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as a short threaded connector between valves, couplings, and other threaded pipe components in residential and commercial systems.

This galvanized nipple is used in Schedule 40 threaded piping systems across residential and light commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical applications. Its hot-dip galvanized coating makes it a common choice for installations in damp or outdoor environments where bare steel would be prone to corrosion. It is also used in industrial piping runs where a short, rigid threaded connection is required between fittings.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness for use in typical threaded pipe systems
• Lead content limited to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average on wetted surfaces
• 1-inch nominal diameter with 5-inch length for short-run threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using a pipe wrench and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the NPT threads. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid supply before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Follow local plumbing codes and ASTM standards when selecting fittings for potable water systems. Do not use galvanized steel fittings in applications where the base material is incompatible with the fluid or gas being conveyed.
