Georg Fischer 861-082 Pvc Nipple 1/2 X 4 Inch

Product Description

The GEORG FISCHER 861-082 is a PVC nipple fitting sized at 1/2 inch by 4 inches, designed for use in piping systems where a short threaded extension is needed between two fittings or between a fitting and a valve. PVC construction makes this nipple suitable for corrosive or chemically aggressive service environments where metal fittings would degrade. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of component in both residential and light commercial plumbing, chemical handling, and industrial process lines.

This nipple is a standard close-coupled connector used to extend or join threaded pipe runs. It fits into systems where PVC is the specified pipe material, including water distribution, irrigation, and low-pressure fluid handling applications. The 1/2 inch diameter and 4 inch length make it a common size for branch lines, fixture connections, and equipment tie-ins where a compact rigid extension is required.

Key Features

• PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical attack in aggressive service environments
• 1/2 inch nominal diameter fits standard half-inch threaded fittings and valves
• 4 inch length provides a compact rigid extension between threaded connections
• Threaded ends allow tool-installed connections without solvent welding at this joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1/2 inch threaded PVC piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, and light industrial fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with strap wrenches to avoid cracking the PVC body — do not use metal pipe wrenches directly on PVC. Follow local plumbing codes for approved materials and pressure ratings in your specific application.
