Ipex 36545 Pvc Schedule 80 Nipple 2 in X 6 in Male Threaded

Product Description

The IPEX 36545 is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple fitting designed for use in pressurized piping systems where chemical resistance and long service life are required. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in overall length, this nipple features male threaded connections on both ends. It is injection molded from gray PVC conforming to ASTM D1784, D1785, and D2467 material specifications. The smooth interior walls reduce pressure loss and support higher flow volume compared to conventional metal fittings. Rated to 140 degrees F, this fitting is suited for potable water applications and carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty.

This nipple is intended for use in residential and light commercial potable water systems where Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings are specified. The male-threaded-by-male-threaded configuration makes it a standard close or extension nipple for connecting valves, pumps, filters, or other threaded fittings. It is NSF-listed for potable water service. Material reinforcement is placed in stress concentration areas to improve pressure handling capability. The fitting ships in inner packs of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking multiple jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and potable water service. Do not over-torque threaded PVC connections, as PVC fittings are susceptible to cracking under excessive mechanical force.
