Asc Engineered Solutions 8700153003 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700153003 is a welded steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems requiring durable, corrosion-resistant connections. Hot-dip galvanized to meet ASTM A53 standards, this Schedule 40 nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length. The galvanized coating provides protection against rust and corrosion in both wet and dry environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for installations where lead-content compliance is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple in water supply, industrial piping, and general plumbing systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and general mechanical piping applications. The Schedule 40 wall thickness is the standard for most threaded pipe assemblies. It is commonly used to extend or offset pipe runs, connect valves and fittings, and make up close-quarters threaded assemblies. Applications include water distribution, compressed air, and low-pressure steam systems where galvanized pipe is an acceptable material.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded piping applications
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size, 4 inch length for short offset and extension runs
• Welded steel construction for consistent wall integrity
• Lead content on wetted surfaces does not exceed 0.25 percent weighted average

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock nipple for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized piping systems using 1-1/4 inch NPT fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT threads. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded components. Follow applicable plumbing codes including the IPC and local amendments for material approval and joint makeup requirements. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads or fittings.
