Nibco CC06460 Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1/2 in X 2 in Mnpt Black

Product Description

The NIBCO CC06460 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded pipe nipple designed for low-pressure piping systems where chemical resistance and lightweight construction matter. Measuring 1/2 inch nominal pipe size at 2 inches in length, this nipple features male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Rated to 20 psi maximum working pressure and 180 degrees F maximum working temperature, it is suited for chemical drainage, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling applications where metal corrosion is a concern. Plumbers and pipefitters install it wherever a short threaded extension or close nipple is needed in a plastic piping assembly.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, chemical processing lines, and irrigation systems that require a corrosion-resistant, non-metallic threaded connection. Its black polypropylene construction meets ASTM D4101 material standards, making it a reliable option for systems conveying mild chemicals, wastewater, or non-potable water. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added strength compared to Schedule 40, allowing for installation in higher-stress or exposed locations within the piping run.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure and mechanical strength over Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility
• MNPT threads on both ends for standard threaded connections
• Rated to 20 psi maximum working pressure
• Maximum working temperature of 180 degrees F
• Meets ASTM D4101 polypropylene material standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded piping systems using 1/2 inch MNPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or thread sealant rated for plastic pipe on all threaded connections; do not overtighten, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive torque. Avoid using pipe wrenches directly on the fitting body without proper padding to prevent damage to the plastic material.
