Asc Engineered Solutions 8700157004 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700157004 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple with a 3-inch nominal diameter and a 4-inch length. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors between fittings, valves, and other threaded components in piping assemblies. This domestically produced nipple features hot-dip or mill galvanization to resist corrosion in wet or exposed installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems where threaded steel pipe is specified.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping applications requiring a Schedule 40 wall thickness. Its 3-inch nominal size places it in the larger-diameter range commonly found in main supply lines, riser connections, and manifold assemblies. Domestic manufacture supports projects with Buy American or local-content requirements. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 pieces.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 3-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 IPC or IFGC codes. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
