Asc Engineered Solutions 8700158853 Galvanized Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700158853 is a standard merchant galvanized coupling designed to join two straight runs of pipe in low-pressure piping systems. Sized at 1-1/2 inches female pipe thread (FPT) on both ends, this coupling provides a threaded, straight connection without any reduction in pipe diameter. Constructed from galvanized steel, it carries a zinc coating that resists corrosion in wet or humid service environments. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in a wide range of commercial and light industrial applications where a reliable, code-appropriate threaded union is required.

This coupling is suited for low-pressure service lines carrying water, oil, air, or gas. It is commonly installed in residential and light commercial plumbing, compressed air distribution, and fuel oil supply lines. The standard merchant pattern makes it a widely stocked, workhorse fitting for maintenance, repair, and new construction piping runs where straight pipe-to-pipe continuity is needed without a reducer or specialty end configuration.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch FPT on both ends for straight pipe-to-pipe connection
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet service environments
• Standard merchant pattern — compatible with conventional threaded pipe systems
• Suitable for low-pressure water, oil, air, and gas service lines
• Sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with standard 1-1/2 inch NPT-threaded steel pipe in low-pressure piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the intended service fluid. Thread both pipe ends with a proper pipe die and apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before cutting into any existing system. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack or deform the fitting body.
