Midland Industries 55167 Pvc Pipe Nipple 2in Mpt Sch 80

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 55167 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe nipple rated for 200 psi service, designed for use in pressurized plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and durability are required. Measuring 5.5 inches in length with 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends, this nipple conforms to ASTM F1498 dimensional standards. The dark gray SCH 80 PVC construction offers greater wall thickness than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-pressure applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component as a short threaded extension between fittings, valves, and equipment in residential and commercial piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems found in industrial process lines, irrigation infrastructure, chemical distribution, and commercial plumbing installations where standard-pressure PVC is insufficient. The 2-11-1/2 thread specification ensures proper engagement with NPT-standard female fittings and valves. Both connection ends are 2-inch MPT, allowing direct makeup into tees, elbows, couplings, unions, and valves threaded to NPT standards.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction with thicker walls than SCH 40 for elevated pressure service
• Rated to 200 psi for use in higher-demand pressurized systems
• Conforms to ASTM F1498 dimensional standards for consistent thread fitment
• 2-11-1/2 thread form compatible with standard NPT female fittings
• Dark gray color coding identifies SCH 80 grade at a glance during installation
• Lightweight at 0.41 pounds, reducing installation strain in overhead or confined-space runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 2-inch NPT-threaded fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. De-pressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and the intended fluid service. Do not over-tighten threaded PVC connections, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body or nipple.
