Genova PM-212-8 Schedule 80 Pvc Nipple 2.5x8 in

Product Description

The GENOVA PM-212-8 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length. Schedule 80 PVC is rated for higher-pressure applications than Schedule 40, with thicker walls that provide added strength in demanding piping systems. This nipple serves as a short-run threaded connector between fittings, valves, and equipment in plumbing, irrigation, industrial, and chemical distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a rigid, corrosion-resistant threaded connection is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations, irrigation mainlines, and industrial process piping where PVC is an approved material. Its 2.5-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT-threaded Schedule 80 PVC fittings, valves, and unions. It is commonly used in systems handling water, mild chemicals, and other fluids compatible with PVC. Applications span pool and spa plumbing, water treatment, and general fluid conveyance where higher wall thickness is specified or required by code.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure rating compared to Schedule 40 PVC
• 2.5-inch nominal diameter fits standard NPT-threaded Schedule 80 fittings
• 8-inch length suits close-nipple and short-run piping layouts
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluids
• Threaded ends allow tool-free hand-starting and wrench-tightened assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 2.5-inch NPT-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC pressure piping. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for PVC to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with strap wrenches to avoid cracking the fitting body. Do not use metal pipe wrenches directly on PVC without protection, as overtightening can cause stress fractures.
