Bk 405-001 Schedule 80 Pvc Nipple 1 in Closed

Product Description

The BK 405-001 is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple sized at 1 inch closed length, designed for transport of water and other liquids in pressurized piping systems. Manufactured to IPS (iron pipe size) dimensions and threaded to NPT (National Pipe Thread) standards, this nipple meets ASTM D1785 specifications. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction gives it greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding residential and light commercial plumbing installations. A licensed plumber or pipefitter is the typical installer for this fitting.

This nipple is suited for a wide range of fluid transport applications including cold and hot water supply lines, irrigation systems, chemical handling, and industrial process piping where PVC is an approved material. Its NPT threading makes it compatible with standard pipe fittings, valves, and couplings found throughout residential and commercial plumbing systems. Pipe thread compound or sealing tape must be applied to the threaded portion prior to installation to ensure a leak-free joint.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• IPS dimensions threaded to NPT standards for broad fitting compatibility
• Meets ASTM D1785 specifications for PVC pressure-rated pipe
• Closed (CL) length nipple for tight-clearance installations
• Suitable for water, liquids, and approved chemical transport

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded Schedule 80 PVC piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before working on any threaded connection. Always apply pipe thread compound or PTFE sealing tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten PVC fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
