Genova PM-4-4 Schedule 80 Pvc Nipple 4x4 Inches

Product Description

The GENOVA PM-4-4 is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple measuring 4 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length. Built to handle higher-pressure applications than standard Schedule 40 fittings, the thicker wall construction of Schedule 80 PVC provides added strength and durability in demanding plumbing and industrial piping systems. This nipple is used to connect two female-threaded fittings or valves within a pipe run. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both above-ground and in-wall applications where pressure ratings and chemical resistance matter.

This nipple is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing systems where PVC pipe is the specified material. Common applications include water distribution lines, irrigation systems, chemical handling setups, and pool or spa plumbing. The Schedule 80 rating makes it appropriate for systems operating at elevated pressures compared to Schedule 40 installations.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides thicker walls and higher pressure tolerance than Schedule 40
• 4-inch nominal diameter fits standard 4-inch threaded fittings and valves
• 4-inch length suitable for close-coupled connections in tight spaces
• PVC material offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluids
• Threaded ends allow tool-based installation without solvent welding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 4-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for PVC to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
