Asc Engineered Solutions 8700152104 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700152104 is a Schedule 40 welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 1 inch nominal diameter by 8 inches in length. It is designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, and general industrial piping systems. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications. This nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured with no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water service where applicable codes permit.

This nipple is a common component in low-pressure water, air, and gas distribution systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install it in residential and commercial settings to extend pipe runs, connect fittings, valves, or equipment, and make up threaded assemblies. The 1-inch by 8-inch dimension suits a wide range of branch connections and riser applications where a close nipple or longer run section is needed in a galvanized threaded system.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
>
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Low-lead construction with no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection compatibility
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 galvanized threaded nipple for use in 1-inch NPT threaded piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, fire suppression, and general industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the NPT threads. Ensure the pipe system is depressurized and drained before removing or installing nipples in an existing assembly. Follow local plumbing codes, IPC guidelines, and applicable ASTM or AWWA standards for material selection and joint preparation. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage threads or fittings.
