Ipex 59326 Cpvc Schedule 80 Nipple 1/2 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 59326 is a Schedule 80 CPVC nipple fitting designed for use in pressurized potable water systems. Manufactured from CPVC material meeting ASTM D1784 specifications, this nipple measures 1/2 inch in diameter and 6 inches in overall length with male threaded connections on both ends. The injection-molded construction places material reinforcement uniformly in stress concentration areas, supporting improved pressure handling capability at temperatures up to 200 degrees F. The gray finish and smooth interior walls minimize pressure drop and support higher flow volume compared to conventional metal fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial piping runs.

This nipple is suited for potable water system installations where corrosion resistance and long service life are required. The CPVC construction provides exceptional chemical and corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for both hot and cold water distribution lines operating within Schedule 80 pressure ratings. The male threaded x male threaded end connections allow direct integration into standard threaded fittings, valves, and equipment in 1/2 inch piping systems. NSF-applicable standards support its use in potable water applications.

Key Features

• CPVC material per ASTM D1784 for chemical and corrosion resistance
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure handling
• Male threaded x male threaded end connections for direct system integration
• Rated to 200 degrees F for hot water service
• Smooth interior walls reduce pressure loss and support higher flow volume
• NSF applicable standard for potable water use
• Lifetime limited warranty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems used in potable water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for CPVC and potable water service. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as CPVC fittings can crack under excessive torque applied with pipe wrenches.
