Bk 404-100 Schedule 80 Pvc Nipple 3/4 X 10 Inch Npt

Product Description

The BK 404-100 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple designed for the transport of water and other compatible liquids in pressurized piping systems. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 10 inches in length, it is machined to IPS (iron pipe size) dimensions and threaded to NPT (National Pipe Thread) standards. Manufactured to meet ASTM D1785 specifications, this nipple delivers the wall thickness and pressure rating expected from Schedule 80 PVC. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a close connection between threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports in both above-ground and in-wall applications.

This nipple is suited for a wide range of residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, industrial fluid handling, and pool or spa piping applications where a corrosion-resistant, non-metallic threaded connection is required. Pipe thread compound or PTFE sealing tape must be applied to the threaded portion before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. It is sold individually and is compatible with any standard NPT-threaded fitting or valve of matching diameter.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides higher pressure rating than Schedule 40
• Threaded to NPT standards for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves
• IPS dimensions ensure consistent fit with iron pipe size components
• Meets ASTM D1785 specifications for PVC pressure-rated pipe
• Corrosion-resistant PVC construction suited for water and a variety of liquid media

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for any standard 3/4 inch NPT threaded piping system using Schedule 80 PVC components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Always apply pipe thread compound or PTFE sealing tape to male threads before assembly to prevent leaks. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Do not overtighten PVC threaded connections, as PVC is susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
