Asc Engineered Solutions 8700154704 Galvanized Nipple 1.5x12 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700154704 is a welded steel pipe nipple finished with hot-dipped galvanization for corrosion resistance. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness — the standard for most residential and commercial piping systems. It meets ASTM A53 requirements and is produced with no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for use in potable water and general-purpose plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this fitting type.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire sprinkler, and industrial piping systems where threaded steel pipe connections are required. It is appropriate for water supply lines, gas distribution systems, and other applications calling for Schedule 40 steel pipe with a durable galvanized exterior finish. Its 12-inch length suits close-quarter runs and riser connections where a standard nipple length is specified.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion and rust resistance for wet or outdoor environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for residential and commercial piping
• Meets ASTM A53 specification for welded steel pipe
• Low-lead compliant — no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component compatible with standard 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded steel pipe systems following Schedule 40 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded steel nipples is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
