Ipex 36437 Pvc Schedule 80 3/4 Inch Close Nipple

Product Description

The IPEX 36437 is a Schedule 80 PVC close nipple designed for threaded pipe connections in pressure-rated plumbing systems. Sized at 3/4 inch with male-threaded ends on both sides, it delivers a tight, compact connection where minimal distance between fittings is required. Injection-molded from gray PVC to ASTM D1784, D1785, and D2467 material specifications, this nipple offers strong chemical and corrosion resistance with a temperature rating of 140 degrees F. The smooth interior wall reduces pressure loss compared to metal alternatives, making it a reliable choice for potable water service lines and distribution systems.

This close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial potable water system installations where a threaded male-to-male connection is needed in tight spaces. At 1-3/8 inches in overall length, it works in manifold assemblies, fixture supply runs, and valve connections where standard nipple lengths would add unwanted distance. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters are the primary installers, typically in conjunction with Schedule 80 threaded fittings and valves of the same material and pressure class. NSF listing confirms suitability for potable water contact applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and potable water service. Do not over-torque threaded PVC connections, as excessive force can crack the fitting body.
