Nibco CC06900 Poly Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1 in X 6 in Black

Product Description

The NIBCO CC06900 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded pipe nipple designed for use in piping systems that require chemical resistance and moderate pressure handling. Measuring 1 inch in pipe diameter and 6 inches in length, this black nipple features NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded connections. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in industrial, commercial, and process piping applications where metal corrosion is a concern or where polypropylene's chemical compatibility is required.

This nipple is suited for use in drainage, chemical handling, and process fluid piping systems where polypropylene material is specified. Its black coloring is standard for Schedule 80 polypropylene fittings and helps distinguish them from PVC Schedule 80 components. Common install scenarios include industrial process lines, chemical feed systems, and specialty plumbing applications in both commercial and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity over Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction offers good resistance to many acids, bases, and chemicals
• Both ends threaded in standard NPT configuration for direct connection to fittings and valves
• Black color finish standard for Schedule 80 polypropylene identification
• 1 inch pipe size x 6 inches length for short-run connections and offsets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded piping systems using 1 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for polypropylene and the specific fluid being conveyed. Do not over-tighten threaded polypropylene fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
