Manufactured from Xirtec CPVC material, this nipple measures 1.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length. It is rated for a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with the capacity to handle 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 install this type of fitting in both hot and cold water systems as well as chemical handling lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and mechanical systems where corrosion resistance and elevated temperature performance are required. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure-bearing capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it a common choice in higher-pressure system segments. Its male NPT threads on both ends allow direct engagement with any standard female-threaded fitting or valve of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional tolerance to 212 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesign stress rating of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure-rated installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCPVC material will not rust, pit, scale, or corrode on interior or exterior surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale NPT threads on both ends for direct connection between two FPT fittings\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections in 1.5-inch line sizes.\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 IPC. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading in the nipple. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant or tape rated for use with thermoplastic fittings — do not use petroleum-based compounds, which can degrade CPVC. Do not overtighten; hand-tight plus one to two turns with a strap wrench is typical for threaded CPVC connections.\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\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPT both ends (connects FPT to FPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Service Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F under pressure; 212 degrees F occasional exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Stress\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F\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: 9861218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51267924230450,"sku":"9861218","price":15.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308913759.jpg?v=1780694556","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ipex-9861218-cpvc-schedule-80-nipple-1-5x6-inches-fpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
