Asc Engineered Solutions 8700151957 Galvanized Nipple 1in X 5.5in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700151957 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 5.5 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, making it suitable for standard-pressure applications. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it appropriate for potable water and low-lead compliance applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where threaded steel connections are required. Common applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping, fire protection systems, and general industrial plumbing. The galvanized coating makes it well suited for installations exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions. It fits standard 1-inch NPT threaded fittings and is sold individually, making it practical for both new installations and repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or cause stress cracking.
