Asc Engineered Solutions 8700153052 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700153052 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial systems. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor service conditions. 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 applications where lead-content compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial threaded pipe systems where a short galvanized steel extension or connection between fittings is needed. Common applications include water distribution, fire protection, gas piping, and general mechanical service lines. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides adequate pressure rating for standard service conditions across a wide range of building and industrial installations.

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 removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
