Ipex 36527 Pvc Schedule 80 Nipple 1-1/2 X 3 Inches

Product Description

The IPEX 36527 is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple designed for use in potable water systems and industrial piping applications. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in overall length, this nipple features male threaded connections on both ends for straightforward integration into threaded piping assemblies. Manufactured from gray PVC conforming to ASTM D1784, D1785, and D2467, it delivers strong chemical and corrosion resistance with a temperature rating of 140 degrees F. The injection-molded construction ensures uniform wall thickness and consistent pressure handling capability throughout the fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial potable water systems, as well as chemical handling and general industrial piping where PVC Schedule 80 fittings are specified. The male-threaded-by-male-threaded configuration makes it a standard close or short nipple for connecting valves, fittings, or equipment in tight-clearance installations. Its smooth interior bore reduces pressure loss and supports higher flow volume compared to conventional metal fittings. This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors working to applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch diameter by 3 inch overall length for compact piping runs
• Temperature rating of 140 degrees F for hot and cold water service
• Smooth interior walls reduce pressure loss and increase flow volume versus metal fittings
• Backed by a lifetime limited warranty

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local and national plumbing codes, including the IPC where adopted. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or a listed pipe thread compound rated for PVC and potable water service on all male threads. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVC threads are susceptible to cracking under excessive mechanical stress.
