Asc Engineered Solutions 8700155354 Galvanized Nipple 2x4

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700155354 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple designed for use in standard threaded piping systems. Manufactured to Schedule 40 dimensions, this close nipple measures 2 inches in diameter by 4 inches in length and is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments. It meets ASTM A/53 standards and is manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, making it suitable for potable water and general plumbing applications. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on this fitting to create short threaded connections between fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components.

This nipple is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing, water distribution, and general mechanical piping systems where Schedule 40 galvanized steel is specified. It threads directly into standard NPT-threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe flanges. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping where galvanized steel is approved by local code, and industrial plumbing assemblies requiring corrosion-resistant steel connections.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor service
• Meets ASTM A/53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• Lead content limited to 0.25% weighted average on wetted surfaces
• Standard NPT threads for compatibility with common threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard Schedule 40 NPT threaded piping systems using 2-inch galvanized steel pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly and tighten using pipe wrenches to avoid cross-threading or over-torquing. Verify local code compliance before using galvanized steel nipples in potable water or gas service applications, as some jurisdictions restrict their use. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before making any threaded connections.
