Ipex 9887030 Cpvc Schedule 80 Nipple 2 X 3 Inches

Product Description

The IPEX 9887030 is a CPVC Schedule 80 threaded nipple designed to connect two female-threaded (FPT) fittings in industrial and commercial piping systems. Manufactured from Xirtec CPVC, this nipple measures 2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length. It carries a design stress rating of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F and a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F. The Schedule 80 wall construction provides the added strength required in demanding pressure applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in hot and cold water, chemical distribution, and industrial process lines.

This CPVC nipple is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping installations where threaded connections are required. It bridges two FPT fittings in close-coupled configurations — common in manifold assemblies, pump connections, water treatment systems, and chemical handling lines. The Xirtec CPVC material is well matched to corrosive fluid service where metallic fittings would degrade. Its 2-inch pipe size accommodates moderate to high flow distribution headers.

Key Features

• Maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional boiling-water exposure to 212 degrees F
• Design stress of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F for reliable pressure service
• CPVC construction will not rust, pit, scale, or corrode on interior or exterior surfaces
• Maintenance-free service life — no cathodic protection or lining required
• Lower embodied energy than carbon steel or steel alloy pipe of equivalent size
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for added strength in demanding applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 2-inch female-threaded CPVC, PVC, or metal FPT fittings in Schedule 80 piping systems. Xirtec CPVC is compatible with a wide range of industrial and plumbing fluid systems operating within the rated temperature and pressure limits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC threaded pipe. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this nipple. Use an appropriate CPVC-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threads — do not use petroleum-based pipe dope, which can degrade CPVC. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, as CPVC is not as ductile as metal and can crack under excessive torque.
