Bk 404-020 Schedule 80 Pvc Nipple 3/4 in X 2 in Npt

Product Description

The BK 404-020 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple designed for transport of water and other liquids in pressurized piping systems. Sized at 3/4 inch by 2 inches and threaded to NPT (National Pipe Thread) standards, this nipple conforms to IPS (iron pipe size) dimensions. It meets ASTM D1785 specifications for rigid PVC pressure-rated pipe fittings. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it a dependable choice in higher-demand plumbing and industrial fluid-handling installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is suited for a wide range of applications including residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, chemical handling lines, and industrial fluid transport where PVC is an approved material. Its NPT threading allows direct connection to standard pipe fittings and valves. Pipe thread compound or PTFE sealing tape should be applied to the threaded portion prior to assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure rating
• NPT threads compatible with standard IPS pipe fittings and valves
• Meets ASTM D1785 specifications for rigid PVC pressure pipe fittings
• Suitable for water and other liquid transport applications
• 3/4 inch nominal diameter by 2 inch length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard IPS-dimensioned, NPT-threaded fitting for use with Schedule 80 PVC piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply pipe thread compound or PTFE sealing tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
