Asc Engineered Solutions 8700155552 Galvanized Nipple 2x6 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700155552 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed 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 use in potable water and other regulated piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, fire protection, and general mechanical systems where a short threaded steel pipe connector is required. Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure handling for standard service conditions. The galvanized finish extends service life in damp, outdoor, or corrosive environments. Typical installation scenarios include connecting valves, fittings, and equipment in water supply, heating, and industrial piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT threads to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or the nipple threads.
