Asc Engineered Solutions 8700155404 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700155404 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to connect sections of pipe in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. It is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard wall dimensions and hot-dip galvanized to provide corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. The nipple measures 2 inches in diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25 percent weighted average, making it suitable for potable water applications where low-lead compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both residential and commercial piping assemblies.

This nipple is appropriate for use in water supply lines, fire protection systems, compressed air lines, and general mechanical piping where galvanized steel is specified. The Schedule 40 wall thickness handles standard operating pressures typical of commercial and residential service. It fits standard threaded pipe connections and is well suited for retrofit and new construction work where a short close nipple or extension is needed between fittings, valves, or threaded equipment connections.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed service conditions
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded and seamless steel pipe
• Schedule 40 standard wall construction for common pressure service
• Low-lead compliant: no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces
• 2 inch nominal diameter with 4-1/2 inch overall length

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC where gas service applies. Thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type should be applied to male threads before assembly. Ensure the system is fully depressurized and isolated before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack threaded fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
