Nibco CC06800 Poly Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1in X 1-1/2in

Product Description

The NIBCO CC06800 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded pipe nipple designed for use in industrial and commercial piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Sized at 1 inch pipe diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length, this close nipple provides a short, rigid threaded connection between two fittings or valves. The black polypropylene construction offers resistance to a broad range of chemicals and is significantly lighter than metal alternatives. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on chemical process lines, drainage systems, and fluid-handling applications where steel or copper would degrade.

This nipple is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing applications where a Schedule 80 pressure rating and polypropylene chemical resistance are specified. Typical uses include chemical feed lines, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and general water service where threaded plastic connections are permitted by local code. The 1-inch diameter and 1-1/2-inch length make it a common connector in tight-space installations between valves, strainers, and threaded fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capability over Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion, acids, and many common chemicals
• Threaded ends conform to standard NPT thread form for broad fitting compatibility
• Black color finish for UV resistance in exposed or outdoor installations
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, reducing handling effort in high-count installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded piping systems using standard 1-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use PTFE thread tape or a compatible pipe thread sealant rated for plastic fittings — do not use petroleum-based compounds that may degrade polypropylene. Hand-tighten first, then apply only moderate wrench torque to avoid cracking the fitting body.
