Ndl Industries NIPPLE1/4X3 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1/4 in

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES NIPPLE1/4X3 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe nipple designed for threaded connections in liquid piping systems. Built from gray PVC, this nipple measures 3 inches in length with a 1/4 inch nominal pipe size. Its heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it suitable for applications requiring greater pressure tolerance than standard Schedule 40 fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component when assembling or extending threaded PVC lines in chemical, water treatment, irrigation, or industrial fluid systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and fluid handling applications where gray PVC and threaded NPT connections are specified. It fits into standard 1/4 inch female threaded fittings, valves, and ports and is commonly used in irrigation manifolds, chemical distribution lines, and process piping where a short threaded extension is needed between components.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides thicker walls than Schedule 40 for improved pressure handling
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings
• 3 inch overall length suits short-run extension and connection applications
• Gray PVC material offers resistance to many chemicals and corrosive fluids
• Threaded connection type allows installation without solvent cement on this component

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/4 inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipples in standard NPT-threaded configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system flow and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant tape or compound rated for PVC and the fluid being conveyed. Do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings, as excessive torque can crack the material.
