B38;K Llc 404-025 Pvc Schedule 80 Nipple 0.75x2.5 in

Product Description

The B38;K LLC 404-025 is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple sized at 0.75 inches by 2.5 inches, designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems where standard Schedule 40 wall thickness is not sufficient. Schedule 80 PVC offers a thicker wall profile, increasing pressure tolerance and mechanical durability compared to Schedule 40. This nipple serves as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, and pipe sections. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and light commercial applications where a rigid, corrosion-resistant connection is required.

This nipple fits into systems that use 0.75-inch threaded PVC connections, including pump discharge assemblies, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and chemical-handling lines where PVC is the specified material. Its compact 2.5-inch length makes it well suited for close-quarter connections between valves, unions, and inline equipment. It is sold in minimum order quantities appropriate for service contractors and supply-house purchasers stocking PVC fittings for ongoing job needs.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• 0.75-inch nominal pipe size with 2.5-inch face-to-face length
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance in water and many chemical environments
• Threaded ends for connection to Schedule 80 PVC fittings, valves, and adapters
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds per piece, simplifying handling on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 0.75-inch threaded Schedule 80 PVC piping systems in plumbing, pump, pool, and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use PTFE thread tape or a compatible thread sealant on male threads to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded PVC connections, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
