Asc Engineered Solutions 8700153201 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700153201 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Sized at 1-1/4 inches by 6 inches, it is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard pipe dimensions and finished with a hot-dipped galvanizing process that meets ASTM A53 standards. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a short-run connector between threaded fittings, valves, and equipment.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems, fire protection rough-in, mechanical rooms, and general industrial piping where a galvanized steel threaded connection is required. Its 6-inch length makes it useful for close-coupled connections where a longer run is needed between fittings. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard NPT threaded fittings at the 1-1/4-inch pipe size.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 standards for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure plumbing and mechanical applications
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional integrity
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for threaded galvanized steel piping systems using 1-1/4-inch NPT connections in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading or replacing any nipple. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not over-torque, as this can damage threads or connected fittings.
