Asc Engineered Solutions 8700152005 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700152005 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, mechanical, and industrial applications. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance on both interior and exterior surfaces. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water and general fluid distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as a short threaded connector between pipe sections, valves, or fittings.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems where galvanized steel is the specified material. The Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard-pressure service in water supply, gas distribution, and industrial fluid lines. It is a common stock item for service plumbers, mechanical contractors, and pipefitters working on new construction or retrofit piping runs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service fluid. Shut off the water supply or isolate the gas line before making any connections. All installations must comply with applicable local plumbing codes, the International Plumbing Code, and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
