Asc Engineered Solutions 8700153300 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700153300 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in water, gas, and general plumbing systems. This nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness standards. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in exposed or moisture-prone environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, meeting safe drinking water installation requirements. This fitting is sized and threaded for direct assembly into standard threaded pipe systems without modification.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, fire protection piping, and general industrial pipe assemblies. It is commonly used in water supply lines, gas distribution runs, and threaded pipe connections where a short extension or close coupling is required between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, system repairs, and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure plumbing and gas service
• Meets ASTM A53 specifications for welded steel pipe
• Wetted surface lead content not to exceed 0.25 percent weighted average
• Standard NPT threading for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas service applications. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing pipe nipples. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
