Asc Engineered Solutions 8700152203 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700152203 is a welded steel pipe nipple finished with hot-dipped galvanization for corrosion resistance in demanding plumbing and mechanical applications. Sized at 1 inch nominal diameter and 10 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple meets ASTM A53 standards for structural and pressure-rated pipe. The hot-dipped galvanized coating provides a durable zinc layer suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, supporting compliance with lead-free requirements in potable water installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire suppression piping, and general mechanical piping where threaded Schedule 40 steel connections are required. The 1-inch diameter and 10-inch length make it a standard close-nipple extension used to connect valves, unions, tees, elbows, and other threaded fittings in both new construction and retrofit service work.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion protection in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standard for welded steel pipe quality and dimensional tolerances
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard pressure applications
• Lead content limited to 0.25 percent or less on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock nipple for Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using 1-inch NPT connections in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading or replacing any nipple in an active system. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
