Bk 506-040 Schedule 80 Pvc Nipple 1-1/4 X 4 In.

Product Description

The BK 506-040 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter by 4 inches in length. Manufactured to IPS (iron pipe size) standards and threaded to NPT (National Pipe Thread) specifications, it meets ASTM D1785 requirements for rigid PVC pressure-rated pipe fittings. This nipple is designed for use in pressurized liquid transport systems and is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and commercial applications. The thicker Schedule 80 wall provides additional strength and pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40 fittings of the same nominal size.

This nipple is suited for water supply, irrigation, industrial fluid handling, and other liquid transport systems where a durable threaded PVC connection is required. Its NPT threading allows direct connection to standard pipe, valves, and fittings in typical plumbing assemblies. The 1-1/4-inch nominal size is commonly found in branch lines, manifolds, and service connections across a wide range of residential and light commercial piping systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure rating over Schedule 40
• Threaded to NPT standards for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves
• IPS sizing ensures consistent fit with iron pipe size system components
• Meets ASTM D1785 specifications for rigid PVC pipe fittings
• Suitable for water and other liquid transport applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 1-1/4-inch NPT-threaded connections in residential and commercial liquid transport applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Before installation, shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure. Apply pipe thread compound or PTFE sealing tape to the threaded portion of the nipple before making up the joint. Do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
