Ipex 9861172 Cpvc Schedule 80 Nipple 1-1/4 X 3 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 9861172 is a CPVC Schedule 80 threaded nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches by 3 inches, designed to connect two female-threaded (FPT) fittings in industrial and commercial piping systems. Manufactured from Xirtec CPVC, this 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. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for hot and cold water distribution, chemical processing lines, and industrial fluid systems where corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance are required. The CPVC material resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion on both interior and exterior surfaces, making it a dependable choice for demanding service environments. It is commonly installed in commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and mechanical rooms where metal piping would be subject to chemical or thermal degradation.

Key Features

• Xirtec CPVC construction resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion on interior and exterior surfaces
• Maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure with occasional exposure to 212 degrees F
• Design stress rating of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure handling over Schedule 40
• Male NPT threads on both ends connect to standard female-threaded (FPT) fittings
• Low-energy manufacturing footprint compared to equivalent carbon steel or steel alloy piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-1/4 inch CPVC Schedule 80 female-threaded (FPT) fittings and piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC piping systems. Shut off system pressure and drain the affected line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply a CPVC-compatible thread sealant or tape to male threads before assembly; do not use petroleum-based compounds, which can degrade CPVC. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten carefully to avoid over-torquing and cracking the fitting.
