Ipex 9861108 Cpvc Schedule 80 Nipple 3/4 X 5 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 9861108 is a CPVC Schedule 80 threaded nipple sized at 3/4 inch diameter by 5 inches in length. It connects two female threaded (FPT) fittings using NPT-compatible male threads on both ends. Manufactured from Xirtec CPVC, the nipple carries a design stress rating of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F and a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under continuous pressure, with tolerance for occasional exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple in industrial, commercial, and residential hot and cold water piping systems where corrosion resistance and thermal performance are required.

This nipple is suited for hot and cold water distribution, chemical handling lines, and industrial process piping where CPVC Schedule 80 fittings and pipe are specified. The 3/4-inch by 5-inch size fits common branch and mainline runs in both new construction and retrofit applications. Its threaded ends allow tool-free disassembly when used with compatible FPT fittings, making it practical for systems that require periodic maintenance access.

Key Features

• CPVC Schedule 80 construction rated to 2,000 psi design stress at 73 degrees F
• Maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure with occasional boiling-water exposure to 212 degrees F
• Male NPT threads on both ends connect directly to FPT fittings
• Will not rust, pit, scale, or corrode on interior or exterior surfaces
• Xirtec CPVC requires less than half the energy to produce compared to equivalent carbon steel or steel alloy materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for CPVC Schedule 80 piping systems using 3/4-inch FPT fittings and couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use a thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for CPVC and hot water service on the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as CPVC fittings can crack under excessive torque.
