Asc Engineered Solutions 8700155859 Galvanized Nipple 2x12 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700155859 is a welded steel galvanized pipe nipple sized at 2 inches by 12 inches, built to Schedule 40 specifications. It is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance and meets ASTM A53 standards for structural and pressure-rated pipe applications. Lead content on wetted surfaces is controlled to no more than 0.25% weighted average, making it suitable for potable water and general plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple in both residential and light commercial piping assemblies where a threaded, fixed-length section is required.

This nipple is used in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing piping systems where galvanized steel is the specified material. The 2-inch diameter and 12-inch length fit common close-coupled runs between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. It is appropriate for above-ground and exposed indoor installations in both new construction and retrofit work where Schedule 40 wall thickness is required by code or design.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion protection on interior and exterior surfaces
• Meets ASTM A53 standard for welded steel pipe
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure-rated applications
• Lead content limited to 0.25% maximum weighted average on wetted surfaces
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard pipe fittings and valves

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting or nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as excessive torque can crack fittings or distort threads.
