Ipex 9861133 Cpvc Schedule 80 Close Nipple

Product Description

The IPEX 9861133 is a CPVC Schedule 80 close nipple designed to connect two female threaded (FPT) fittings in industrial and commercial piping systems. Manufactured from Xirtec CPVC material, this nipple carries a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional tolerance for boiling water exposure at 212 degrees F. The material is rated to a design stress of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F. The close nipple configuration means the threaded ends meet with minimal unthreaded body length, making it suited for tight-space installations where conventional nipple lengths will not fit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This nipple fits into Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems commonly found in chemical processing, hot and cold water distribution, and industrial fluid handling. The 1 inch x 1-1/2 inch size accommodates transition or offset connections between two FPT fittings. Its corrosion-resistant CPVC construction makes it appropriate for environments where metal piping would be subject to rust, pitting, or chemical degradation. Residential and light commercial plumbing applications with elevated temperature or pressure requirements are also typical use cases.

Key Features

• Maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional exposure tolerance to 212 degrees F
• Design stress rated at 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F
• Close nipple configuration for minimal face-to-face length in tight installations
• Xirtec CPVC material resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion on interior and exterior surfaces
• Requires less than half the energy to produce compared to equivalent carbon steel or steel alloy pipe materials
• Maintenance-free service life under normal operating conditions

Compatibility

Designed for use with Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems accepting 1 inch x 1-1/2 inch female threaded (FPT) connections. Suitable for use with other Xirtec CPVC Schedule 80 fittings and valves of matching thread size and pressure rating.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use thread sealant or tape rated for CPVC and compatible with the fluid being conveyed. Do not use pipe wrenches aggressively on CPVC threads, as overtightening can crack the fitting body.
