Asc Engineered Solutions 8700154605 Galvanized Nipple 1-1/2x10

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154605 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in water, gas, and general plumbing systems. It measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Wetted surfaces are manufactured to contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content, meeting low-lead compliance requirements. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters as a standard threaded fitting in supply, distribution, and mechanical systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping applications where Schedule 40 threaded connections are required. It conforms to ASTM A53 standards for welded and seamless steel pipe, making it appropriate for pressure-rated systems. Typical installation scenarios include riser connections, drop connections, and close nipple configurations within building water supply and distribution piping.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure-rated applications
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Low-lead compliant: no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for straightforward threaded installation

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
