Asc Engineered Solutions 8700154506 Galvanized Nipple 1.5x8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154506 is a welded steel pipe nipple with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, sized at 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness, meeting ASTM A53 requirements for structural and pressure-rated pipe applications. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior installations. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for potable water systems where lead-reduction compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting class.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection piping, and general industrial pipe assemblies. It is appropriate for water supply, steam, air, and gas distribution lines where Schedule 40 galvanized steel is the specified material. The hot-dipped galvanizing process makes it a common choice for outdoor, wet, or corrosive-environment installations where bare steel pipe would degrade prematurely.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standard for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 standard wall thickness
• Lead content held to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average on wetted surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 galvanized steel nipple compatible with 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial plumbing and piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before connecting or removing any pipe nipple in a pressurized system. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
