Asc Engineered Solutions 8700154357 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154357 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple rated for Schedule 40 standard pipe applications. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length, it is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in wet or exposed piping systems. This nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for use in potable water and general plumbing systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this fitting in residential and light commercial piping assemblies where threaded galvanized connections are required.

This nipple is used in water supply, hydronic heating, compressed air, and general-purpose pipe runs where a short close-to-close or close-to-standard threaded connection is needed. Its hot-dip galvanized finish makes it a practical choice for indoor and outdoor installations where moisture exposure is a concern. The 1-1/2-inch diameter suits branch lines, riser connections, and service drops in a range of commercial and residential mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting into any existing piping. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
