Asc Engineered Solutions 8700154407 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154407 is a welded steel pipe nipple finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating, sized at 1-1/2 inches nominal diameter and 6 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and meets ASTM A53 standards for steel pipe. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in wet and exposed environments. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications. This nipple weighs 1.171 pounds and is sold individually.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection piping, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The Schedule 40 wall thickness is the standard for most threaded pipe connections in low- to medium-pressure service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a short extension or close connection between threaded pipe components, valves, and fittings.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 threaded pipe nipple for use with 1-1/2 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings in plumbing and hydronic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort the pipe threads.
