Asc Engineered Solutions 8700154258 Galvanized Nipple 1.5x4.5

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154258 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 1-1/2 inches by 4-1/2 inches. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness, making it suitable for moderate-pressure piping applications in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial systems. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or exposed environments. This nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, supporting compliance with low-lead requirements in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters handle installation in new construction and retrofit piping runs.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating distribution, water supply lines, and general mechanical piping. Its 1-1/2-inch diameter suits main branch and lateral runs in domestic water, irrigation, and fire protection rough-in work. The hot-dipped galvanized finish makes it a common choice where pipe will be exposed to moisture or installed in unconditioned spaces such as crawlspaces, mechanical rooms, or outdoor utility applications.
