Georg Fischer 9861-138 Cpvc Sch 80 Nipple 1 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The GEORG FISCHER 9861-138 is a Schedule 80 CPVC threaded nipple fabricated from pipe stock, designed for use in pressure piping systems that require chemical resistance and elevated temperature performance. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable, close-coupled connection between fittings, valves, and equipment. CPVC construction meets the demands of corrosive fluid handling and hot-water distribution. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where standard PVC lacks the thermal or chemical tolerance required.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems handling hot water, industrial process lines, and chemical distribution piping. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service runs. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, chemical feed systems, and hot-water supply lines where a short, rigid male-threaded connector is needed between two pipe sections or components.

Key Features

• CPVC Corzan material offers superior resistance to heat and a wide range of chemicals compared to standard PVC
• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides increased pressure rating over Schedule 40 pipe
• 1 inch nominal diameter by 6 inch length for close-coupled connection applications
• Nipple fabricated from pipe stock for consistent wall integrity along the full length
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to standard NPT fittings, valves, and equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections in plumbing and industrial process applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC pressure piping. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any work. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for CPVC compatibility — do not use sealants that contain solvents harmful to thermoplastic fittings. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, as CPVC is more susceptible to stress cracking than metal fittings.
