Asc Engineered Solutions 8700154001 Galvanized Nipple 1.5x2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154001 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in standard piping systems across plumbing, mechanical, and industrial applications. This nipple measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The exterior and interior surfaces are hot-dip galvanized, providing corrosion resistance for both above-ground and typical in-wall installations. It meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water system applications where lead compliance is required.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping assemblies where a short threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Schedule 40 sizing makes it compatible with standard NPT threaded fittings in galvanized piping systems. Typical install scenarios include water supply lines, fire protection piping, and general mechanical piping where galvanized steel is the specified material. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure applications
• Lead content limited to 0.25 percent maximum on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• 1-1/2 inch diameter with 2 inch overall length for compact close-coupled connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections in 1-1/2 inch line sizes.

Installation Notes

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