Sized at 2.5 inches by 6 inches with male pipe thread (MPT) on both ends, this fitting provides a rigid, pressure-rated connection in industrial and commercial plumbing systems. The Schedule 80 wall thickness gives it greater strength and chemical resistance compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings. At 0.75 pounds, it is lightweight enough for overhead or confined-space runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple where a short, double-male threaded extension is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for use in chemical processing lines, water treatment systems, irrigation headers, and industrial fluid-transfer applications where PVC construction is specified. The MPT x MPT configuration allows direct connection to female-threaded valves, couplings, and flanges. Its 210 PSI pressure rating at 73 degrees F makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service lines in both above-ground and in-wall installations where PVC is code-permissible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure and impact resistance versus Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 210 PSI at 73 degrees F for reliable service in moderate-pressure systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch nominal size with 6-inch overall length suits common header and branch configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale pipe thread (MPT) on both ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.75 pounds, simplifying handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 2.5-inch nominal threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing any existing fittings. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant compound to male threads before making up the joint — do not use solvent-based pipe dope formulations that are incompatible with PVC. Hand-tighten first, then use a strap wrench to avoid cracking the PVC body from over-torquing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC Schedule 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 PSI at 73 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MPT x MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 083475028625\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEORG FISCHER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 861-297\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GEORG FISCHER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467471585586,"sku":"861-297","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313947139.jpg?v=1783905202","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/georg-fischer-861-297-schedule-80-pvc-nipple-2-5x6-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
