Manufactured from Xirtec CPVC material, this nipple measures 3\/4 inches in nominal pipe size with an overall length of 1-3\/8 inches. It is rated for a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F. The CPVC material carries a design stress rating of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F, making it well-suited for demanding pressure applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of threaded fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple is intended for use in hot and cold water distribution, industrial fluid handling, and chemical process piping where corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance are required. The compact close-nipple form factor allows direct back-to-back connection of two FPT fittings with minimal exposed thread length, which is useful in tight installations or where a short transition between threaded components is needed. It is suitable for both residential and light commercial plumbing applications where CPVC Schedule 80 piping is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 degrees F continuous service temperature under pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2,000 psi design stress at 73 degrees F for reliable pressure-rated service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCPVC material resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion on interior and exterior surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose nipple configuration connects two FPT fittings with minimal spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eXirtec CPVC requires less than half the energy to produce compared to equivalent carbon steel or steel alloy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintenance-free service life due to non-reactive CPVC compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 3\/4 inch CPVC Schedule 80 threaded piping systems using female threaded (FPT) connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading this nipple into place. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for CPVC systems — do not use petroleum-based pipe dopes that can degrade CPVC material. Hand-tighten first, then use strap wrenches to avoid overtightening and cracking the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: CPVC (Xirtec)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPT both ends (close nipple, FPT-to-FPT use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Service Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) under pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasional Exposure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 212 degrees F (100 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Stress\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F (23 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IPEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9861104\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51267890282802,"sku":"9861104","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308913774.jpg?v=1780693497","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ipex-9861104-cpvc-schedule-80-close-nipple-3-4x1-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
