Asc Engineered Solutions 8700155305 Galvanized Nipple 2x3.5in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700155305 is a welded steel pipe nipple finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. Sized at 2 inches by 3.5 inches and rated to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness, this nipple is built for use in pressurized piping systems where durability and code compliance matter. It meets ASTM A/53 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 and other regulated applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers on both residential and commercial jobs.

This galvanized nipple is suited for water supply, fire protection, and general-purpose piping systems where a short threaded connector is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. The Schedule 40 wall thickness handles standard operating pressures found in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC hydronic installations. Its galvanized finish makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor service in moderate corrosive environments.
