Ipex 9861213 Cpvc Sch 80 Close Nipple 1-1/2 in X 110MM

Product Description

The IPEX 9861213 is a CPVC Schedule 80 close nipple rated for demanding industrial and plumbing applications. It connects two female threaded fittings at each end using standard NPT threading. Built from Xirtec CPVC material, this nipple handles a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F. The material carries a design stress rating of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F, making it suitable for pressure-bearing installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in chemical, hot-water, and industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and thermal performance are priorities.

This close nipple is sized at 1-1/2 inches x 110MM and is designed for use in residential and commercial piping systems where CPVC Schedule 80 material is specified. Typical applications include hot and cold water distribution, chemical processing lines, and industrial fluid handling. The short face-to-face length of a close nipple makes it the correct choice when minimal spacing is needed between two female-threaded fittings or valves.

Key Features

• Maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional boiling-water exposure at 212 degrees F
• Design stress of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F for reliable pressure-rated performance
• CPVC construction 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, reducing embodied energy in the system
• Close nipple configuration connects two FPT fittings with minimal thread exposure between them
• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity over Schedule 40

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for CPVC Schedule 80 threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch close nipple connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC piping. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use a thread sealant or tape rated for CPVC compatibility — do not use petroleum-based compounds, which can degrade CPVC material. Avoid over-torquing threaded connections, as CPVC fittings can crack under excessive mechanical force.
