Asc Engineered Solutions 8700155255 Galvanized Nipple 2x3 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700155255 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple manufactured to Schedule 40 standard pipe dimensions. It measures 2 inches in diameter by 3 inches in length and is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in exposed or wet service environments. The nipple meets ASTM A53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water system use. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these nipples as short-run connectors between fittings, valves, and threaded pipe sections in commercial and residential plumbing, hydronic, and mechanical systems.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems where a short threaded connector is needed between two fittings or components. Its galvanized finish makes it well suited for outdoor, underground, or high-moisture environments where bare steel would corrode. Standard Schedule 40 wall thickness supports typical working pressures found in domestic water supply and low-pressure steam or hydronic heating applications.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASTM A53 standard for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard working pressure applications
• Lead content limited to 0.25 percent or less on wetted surfaces for potable water compliance
• 2-inch diameter by 3-inch length for close-quarter connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fitting for Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using standard NPT connections in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system water supply and depressurize the line before threading or replacing any nipple. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug fit using pipe wrenches. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including IPC or applicable jurisdictional standards, for approved materials and pressure ratings.
