Asc Engineered Solutions 8700153151 Galvanized Nipple 1-1/4x5-1/2

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700153151 is a welded steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length, finished with hot-dipped galvanization for corrosion resistance. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is produced with no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a close-to-standard length connector in threaded pipe assemblies across residential and commercial systems.

This nipple is used in a wide range of plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and industrial piping installations where a short threaded connector is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Its galvanized finish makes it well suited for exposed or semi-exposed runs where moisture or humidity is present. Typical install scenarios include water supply lines, fire protection rough-in, gas distribution piping, and mechanical room pipe runs requiring a 1-1/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded connector at standard 5-1/2-inch center-to-center spacing.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for wet and humid environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets ASTM A53 standards for pressure-rated pipe assemblies
• Welded steel construction delivers reliable strength in threaded connections
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces, supporting compliance with lead-free plumbing requirements
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use component for 1-1/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic, and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using standard pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service. Always shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing threaded nipples. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including applicable sections of the IPC and IFGC, for approved materials and assembly practices. Inspect threads for damage before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint.
