B38;K Llc 408-060 Pvc Schedule 80 Nipple 2x6 in

Product Description

The B38;K LLC 408-060 is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter by 6 inches in length. Schedule 80 pipe fittings carry a thicker wall than Schedule 40, making them better suited for higher-pressure applications in plumbing and industrial systems. This nipple is used to connect two female-threaded fittings or to extend a threaded pipe run. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial systems where PVC is an approved material.

This nipple fits into plumbing systems routed through pump assemblies, water treatment lines, irrigation manifolds, and similar low-to-moderate pressure PVC piping installations. The 2-inch diameter size is common in main water lines, pool and spa plumbing, and pump discharge connections. It falls under the Pumps and Plumbing category for pipe and tubing.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for thicker wall thickness and higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• 2-inch diameter by 6-inch length for straight pipe extensions between threaded fittings
• Threaded nipple design for connection to standard female NPT fittings
• PVC material resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of water-based media
• Lightweight at 0.4 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems in plumbing, pump, and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before making or breaking any threaded connections. Use thread sealant tape or paste rated for PVC and water service on all male threads. Do not over-torque threaded PVC fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
