Asc Engineered Solutions 8700154159 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154159 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple rated for Schedule 40 service. It measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length and is manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel meeting ASTM A53 standards. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited for water, gas, and general plumbing piping systems. Lead content on wetted surfaces is held to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, keeping the fitting compliant with low-lead requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a standard threaded connector between fittings, valves, and equipment in both new construction and maintenance work.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, fire protection, and general industrial piping applications where Schedule 40 galvanized steel is specified. The short close-nipple length of 3-1/2 inches makes it useful for tight-clearance connections and equipment drops. It threads directly into standard NPT-compatible fittings, unions, and valves without adapters.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM A53 for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard working pressures in plumbing and gas service
• Low-lead compliant: wetted surface lead content does not exceed 0.25 percent weighted average
• Welded steel construction for consistent wall integrity along the full length
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to compatible fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock nipple for Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems using NPT-threaded fittings in plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and general industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading the nipple into place. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per local plumbing code requirements. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage threads or fittings.
