Bk 507-040 Schedule 80 Pvc Nipple 1-1/2 X 4 Inches

Product Description

The BK 507-040 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple sized at 1-1/2 inches by 4 inches, designed for the transport of water and other compatible liquids in pressurized piping systems. Manufactured to ASTM D1785 specifications, it features IPS (iron pipe size) dimensions and NPT (National Pipe Thread) threading on both ends. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding plumbing and industrial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded PVC piping assemblies.

This nipple fits into a wide range of residential, commercial, and light industrial piping applications wherever Schedule 80 PVC threaded connections are required. It is well suited for water supply lines, chemical handling systems, and irrigation assemblies where corrosion resistance and pressure durability are priorities. Thread sealant compound or PTFE tape must be applied to the threaded portion prior to assembly to ensure a leak-free joint.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• IPS dimensions with NPT threading on both ends
• Meets ASTM D1785 specifications
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material suitable for water and compatible liquids
• Standard 1-1/2 inches by 4 inches sizing for common piping configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC codes. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. 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 material.
