Bk 404-240 Schedule 80 Pvc Nipple 3/4 X 24 Inch

Product Description

The BK 404-240 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple designed for the transport of water and other liquids in pressurized piping systems. Sized at 3/4 inch IPS (iron pipe size) with a 24-inch length, this nipple is threaded to NPT (National Pipe Thread) standards on both ends, ensuring leak-resistant connections with standard pipe fittings. Manufactured to ASTM D1785 specifications, it delivers the wall thickness and pressure ratings expected from Schedule 80 PVC. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this part across a wide range of piping assemblies where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required.

This nipple suits residential, commercial, and light industrial applications involving water supply lines, irrigation systems, chemical transfer lines, and process piping where PVC is an approved material. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional strength over Schedule 40 in higher-pressure or higher-stress installations. Pipe thread compound or sealing tape must be applied to the threaded portion before assembly to ensure a proper seal.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction meets ASTM D1785 specifications for wall thickness and pressure performance
• 3/4 inch IPS sizing threaded to NPT standards for compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• 24-inch length suits a range of extension and connection applications
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material suitable for water and a variety of liquid transfer applications
• Both ends factory-threaded for direct installation without field threading

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-install Schedule 80 PVC nipple for use with standard 3/4 inch NPT fittings, valves, and pipe connections in systems where ASTM D1785 Schedule 80 PVC pipe is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Always apply pipe thread compound or PTFE sealing tape to the threaded ends before making up connections. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any nipple in a live line. Do not over-torque PVC threaded connections, as PVC threads are more susceptible to cracking than metal threads.
