B38;K Llc 404-100 Pvc Schedule 80 Nipple 0.75x10 in

Product Description

The B38;K LLC 404-100 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple sized at 0.75 inches nominal diameter by 10 inches in length. Schedule 80 PVC carries a heavier wall thickness than Schedule 40, giving it higher pressure ratings and greater resistance to impact and chemical exposure. This nipple is used to connect two female-threaded fittings or valves in low-pressure fluid piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install these in both above-ground and below-ground applications where a rigid, corrosion-resistant threaded connection is required. The part weighs approximately 0.2 pounds and ships as an individual piece.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa plumbing, and chemical handling systems where PVC is an approved material. Schedule 80 PVC nipples are commonly used in pump discharge and suction lines, filter headers, and chemical feed lines where standard Schedule 40 wall thickness is insufficient. The 10-inch length accommodates offset connections and installations requiring additional reach between fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• 0.75 inch nominal diameter fits standard 3/4-inch threaded fittings and valves
• 10-inch length provides adequate reach for offset or spaced connections
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluids
• Threaded both ends for direct installation between female-threaded components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation component for 3/4-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, and pool applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for PVC to all male threads before assembly; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Local plumbing codes, including the IPC, govern approved applications and pressure ratings for Schedule 80 PVC in potable and non-potable systems.
