Asc Engineered Solutions 8700154100 Galvanized Nipple 1-1/2x3 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154100 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length. Built to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness, it meets ASTM A53 requirements for welded steel pipe. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed piping systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a short threaded connector between pipe sections, fittings, or valves.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems where threaded galvanized steel connections are required. It is well suited for water distribution, general industrial piping, and maintenance or repair work on existing galvanized systems. The 1-1/2-inch nominal size is a common diameter in both domestic and light commercial supply lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
