Asc Engineered Solutions 8700157152 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700157152 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3 inches by 8 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping run. This nipple is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance, making it well suited for water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where moisture or outdoor exposure is a factor. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these as close, short, or standard-length connectors wherever a male-threaded extension is needed in a ferrous piping assembly. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for most commercial and residential service applications.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection piping, HVAC hydronic systems, and general mechanical piping installations. It is commonly used to connect pipe to threaded valves, unions, couplings, flanges, and equipment tappings. The 3-inch diameter makes it appropriate for larger-volume distribution lines, main headers, and equipment connections in commercial mechanical rooms or industrial settings. Domestic manufacture supports projects requiring domestically produced materials per project specifications or procurement requirements.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• Hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 3 inches nominal diameter x 8 inches length for larger-diameter piping connections
• Threaded ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, and equipment ports
• Domestically manufactured
• Sold in a package quantity of 5 per unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems using 3-inch nominal pipe size (NPS) fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on service type. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded components. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
