Asc Engineered Solutions 8700152906 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700152906 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance and meets ASTM A53 standards. The galvanized coating provides a durable barrier against rust and moisture, making this nipple suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations where steel pipe connections are required. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25% weighted average, in line with lead-free compliance requirements for potable water applications.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems where 1-1/4-inch Schedule 40 steel pipe connections are needed. It threads into standard fittings, couplings, valves, and flanges using NPT threading. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of close-cut nipple when a short, rigid connection is required between two threaded components in a piping run.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty piping applications
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional integrity
• Lead content on wetted surfaces does not exceed 0.25% weighted average, supporting lead-free compliance
• NPT threading compatible with standard pipe fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1-1/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel piping systems using NPT connections in plumbing and mechanical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading or replacing any nipple. Use appropriate pipe-thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
