Nibco 884-005 Pvc Schedule 80 Close Nipple 1 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO 884-005 is a Schedule 80 PVC close nipple sized at 1 inch. A close nipple is a short-length threaded fitting with male NPT threads on both ends, used to join two female-threaded fittings with minimal spacing between them. Schedule 80 PVC offers thicker walls than Schedule 40, providing higher pressure ratings and greater durability in demanding piping applications. This fitting is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation technicians working on PVC pressure piping systems.

This close nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical handling, and industrial process piping where Schedule 80 PVC is specified. The 1-inch size is a common trade size for branch lines and main distribution runs in low- to medium-pressure water and fluid systems. It is sold as a single unit and is threaded on both ends per standard NPT dimensions.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides thicker walls and higher pressure capacity than Schedule 40
• Close-length configuration minimizes spacing between two female-threaded connections

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as PVC is susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
