B38;K Llc 407-001 Pvc Sch 80 Close Nipple 1.5 in

Product Description

The B38;K LLC 407-001 is a 1.5-inch close nipple manufactured from PVC Schedule 80 material. A close nipple is a short-length threaded pipe fitting used to join two female-threaded fittings with minimal space between them. Schedule 80 PVC offers thicker walls than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure plumbing applications. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and light commercial systems. It weighs 0.1 pounds and measures approximately 2 inches in length and 2 inches in width, making it compact and easy to handle during installation.

This nipple is used in PVC piping systems for water supply, irrigation, pool and spa plumbing, and chemical-handling lines where corrosion resistance is required. Its Schedule 80 rating makes it appropriate for applications where additional wall thickness and pressure capacity are needed compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings. The 1.5-inch nominal pipe size fits standard threaded PVC fittings of the same diameter, making it a common replacement or extension component in pump discharge lines, filter headers, and manifold assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as PVC is susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
