Nibco CC06850 Pipe Nipple 1x2 Inch Sched 80 Threaded

Product Description

The NIBCO CC06850 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, chemical, and industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure durability are required. With a 1-inch pipe size and a 2-inch overall length, this close nipple provides a compact threaded connection between fittings, valves, or equipment. The polypropylene construction resists a wide range of acids, bases, and chemical solutions, making it well suited for applications where metal nipples would corrode or degrade. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and light commercial settings.

This nipple is appropriate for use in cold and warm water distribution lines, chemical feed systems, irrigation headers, and industrial process piping where polypropylene is an approved material. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making it a common choice in higher-demand service lines. The black color is standard for Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe fittings and aids in identification on mixed-material systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure and mechanical strength
• Polypropylene material resists corrosion, acids, and many chemical solutions
• 1-inch pipe size with 2-inch overall length for compact installations
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Black color standard for Schedule 80 polypropylene identification

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for use with polypropylene and the conveyed media. Do not overtighten polypropylene threaded fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing codes for material approval in the intended service application.
