Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure ratings and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40, making it a reliable choice in demanding installations. The nipple is IPS-dimensioned and meets ASTM D1785 specifications. It is sized at 2 inches nominal pipe size. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial systems where a short, fully threaded nipple is required to connect adjacent fittings or equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for water supply, irrigation, industrial fluid transport, and similar wet-service applications. The close-length configuration provides minimal standoff between two threaded connections, which is useful in tight manifold assemblies or equipment tie-ins. Pipe thread compound or sealing tape must be applied to the threaded portion before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. It is not rated for use with compressed air, gas, or fluids outside the chemical compatibility range of PVC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose-length configuration minimizes spacing between fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPT threads conform to IPS dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM D1785 specification for PVC pressure-rated pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for water and compatible liquid transport applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 2-inch NPT-threaded PVC piping systems built to IPS dimensional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply pipe thread compound or PTFE sealing tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten PVC fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body or damage threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT (National Pipe Thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Sizing Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: IPS (Iron Pipe Size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Close (CL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eASTM Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: D1785\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.134 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BK\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 408-001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347343180082,"sku":"408-001","price":22.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549795.jpg?v=1782102043","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-408-001-schedule-80-pvc-nipple-2-in-close","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
