Ipex 9887005 Cpvc Schedule 80 Close Nipple 2 X 2 in

Product Description

The IPEX 9887005 is a Schedule 80 CPVC close nipple designed to connect two female threaded (FPT) fittings in pressurized piping systems. Manufactured from Xirtec CPVC material, it handles a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under continuous pressure, with occasional exposure tolerance up to 212 degrees F. The material carries a design stress rating of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a short, fully threaded connection between two female-threaded ports is required.

This close nipple is used in residential and commercial hot and cold water distribution systems, chemical handling lines, and industrial process piping where CPVC is specified. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40 fittings. The 2 inches nominal size and FPT threading on both ends make it a direct-install component in standard CPVC piping layouts.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 CPVC construction rated to 2,000 psi design stress at 73 degrees F
• Maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure
• Tolerates occasional exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F
• Corrosion-resistant material will not rust, pit, scale, or corrode on interior or exterior surfaces
• Male threads on both ends connect two FPT fittings directly
• 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 fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems using 2 inches nominal threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the affected piping section before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant or tape rated for the service conditions — do not use petroleum-based compounds on CPVC threads. Hand-tighten first, then apply only enough wrench torque to achieve a leak-free seal without stressing the fitting.
