B38;K Llc 404-120 Pvc Schedule 80 Nipple 0.75x12 in

Product Description

The B38;K LLC 404-120 is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple sized at 0.75 inches nominal diameter by 12 inches in length. Schedule 80 PVC features a thicker wall than Schedule 40, giving it higher pressure ratings and greater resistance to mechanical stress. This nipple is used to extend or connect threaded PVC piping runs in systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. It is installed by licensed plumbers and irrigation or pool service technicians working on water distribution, chemical feed, or low-pressure fluid-handling systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa circulation systems, irrigation manifolds, and industrial chemical-handling lines where non-metallic threaded fittings are specified. The 12-inch length makes it practical for spanning short gaps between valves, pumps, or fittings without additional couplings. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces per order, making it appropriate for service truck stocking or small-project material pulls.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure rating compared to Schedule 40 PVC nipples of the same diameter
• 0.75-inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threading for compatibility with Schedule 80 PVC fittings and valves
• 12-inch body length suits common valve and pump spacing applications
• PVC construction resists corrosion, chlorine, and many common chemicals encountered in plumbing and pool service
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds, reducing load on threaded connections

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified trade professional. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing any existing nipple or fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly; do not over-torque PVC threads, as Schedule 80 PVC can crack under excessive force. Work practices should comply with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for plastic piping systems.
