Georg Fischer 9861-218 Nipple 1-1/2x6 in Mnpt Cpvc

Product Description

The GEORG FISCHER 9861-218 is a CPVC threaded nipple designed for use in pressurized piping systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple features male NPT (MNPT) threads on both ends and is molded in gray CPVC material. It provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant connection between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe sections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in industrial, commercial, and residential applications where standard PVC or metal nipples are not suitable for the service conditions.

This CPVC nipple is suited for hot and cold water distribution, chemical handling lines, and industrial process piping where elevated temperature resistance and chemical compatibility are priorities. Its MNPT thread pattern makes it compatible with standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves. The gray color indicates CPVC material, distinguishing it from standard white or cream PVC fittings used in lower-temperature applications. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, industrial process lines, and commercial plumbing systems.

Key Features

• CPVC construction offers higher temperature and chemical resistance compared to standard PVC
• 1-1/2 inch diameter with 6 inch overall length for direct pipe-to-fitting connections
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard NPT-compatible fittings and valves
• Gray color coding identifies CPVC material at a glance during installation and inspection
• Rigid body maintains alignment in pressurized threaded assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch MNPT threaded piping systems utilizing CPVC-compatible components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings. Use CPVC-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for CPVC and chemical service — do not use solvents or sealants incompatible with CPVC. Hand-tighten threads first, then turn to snug with a strap wrench to avoid overtightening and cracking the fitting body.
