Asc Engineered Solutions 8700155651 Galvanized Nipple 2x8

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700155651 is a Schedule 40 welded steel pipe nipple finished with hot-dipped galvanization for corrosion resistance. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to ASTM A53 standards, making it a reliable choice for water, gas, and general-purpose piping systems. The hot-dipped galvanizing process provides a durable zinc coating that protects against rust in both indoor and outdoor installations. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, supporting compliance in potable water applications. Weighing approximately 2.1 pounds, this is a standard off-the-shelf fitting for trade piping work.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping applications where a threaded Schedule 40 galvanized steel connection is required. It is commonly installed in water supply lines, gas distribution systems, and industrial process piping. Plumbers and pipefitters use nipples like this to create short threaded extensions between fittings, valves, and equipment. The 2-inch diameter size is a frequent specification in main distribution lines and equipment connections.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides zinc-layer corrosion protection for wet and outdoor environments
• Manufactured to ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• Lead content on wetted surfaces limited to 0.25% weighted average maximum
• 2-inch nominal diameter by 8-inch length for short threaded extensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for Schedule 40 galvanized steel threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
