Ipex 36494 Pvc Schedule 80 Nipple 0.75 X 4 in Male Thread

Product Description

The IPEX 36494 is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple fitting designed for use in pressurized piping systems where chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability are required. Sized at 0.75 inches nominal diameter with an overall length of 4 inches, this nipple features male threaded connections on both ends for standard threaded assembly. Manufactured from rigid PVC conforming to ASTM D1784, D1785, and D2467, it is injection molded for consistent wall thickness and uniform material placement in stress concentration areas. The smooth interior bore reduces pressure drop and supports higher flow volume compared to conventional metal fittings. Rated to 140 degrees F for continuous service.

This nipple is rated for potable water system applications and is manufactured to NSF standards, making it appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The gray PVC Schedule 80 construction provides greater wall thickness and pressure handling capability than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure service runs, pump connections, and locations requiring added mechanical strength. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers in these applications.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased pressure rating over Schedule 40
• Male threaded x male threaded end connections for direct threaded assembly
• Smooth interior walls minimize pressure loss and support higher flow rates
• NSF-listed for potable water system use
• Injection molded for uniform wall thickness and consistent dimensional tolerances
• Lifetime limited warranty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems in potable water applications conforming to ASTM D1784, D1785, and D2467 material specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading this nipple into any fitting or valve. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and potable water service on all threaded connections. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as PVC is subject to cracking under excessive torque.
