Ipex 36511 Pvc Schedule 80 Nipple 1 Inch X 6 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 36511 is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple fitting designed for use in pressurized piping systems. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 6 inches in overall length, it features male threaded connections on both ends for straightforward installation into threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Manufactured from gray PVC to ASTM D1784, D1785, and D2467 material specifications using an injection-molded process, the 36511 delivers consistent wall thickness and uniform material distribution in stress concentration areas. The smooth interior bore reduces pressure loss compared to metal alternatives. Rated to 140 degrees F, this nipple is suited for cold and moderately warm water service lines.

The IPEX 36511 is rated for potable water system applications and meets applicable NSF standards for drinking water contact. It is a common component in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, chemical distribution lines, and irrigation supply manifolds where threaded Schedule 80 PVC connections are required. The gray PVC construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and a wide range of chemicals, making it a dependable choice in both above-ground and protected below-grade installations. Sold in inner packs of 25 units, this fitting is practical for contractors stocking job-site supply.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local jurisdiction requirements. Apply an NSF-rated thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before assembly; do not use solvent cement on threaded joints. Shut off and depressurize the water supply completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Hand-tighten first, then use strap wrenches or appropriate pipe wrenches to avoid cracking the PVC body from overtightening.
