Nibco CC07050 Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1in X 3in Black

Product Description

The NIBCO CC07050 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems where chemical resistance and moderate-temperature service are required. At 1 inch pipe size and 3 inches in length, this black MNPT nipple connects threaded fittings, valves, and equipment in plumbing and industrial fluid-handling applications. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides extra strength compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for systems operating up to 20 psi and temperatures up to 180 degrees F. Polypropylene construction resists corrosion, scaling, and many common chemicals. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a close extension or transition piece between threaded components.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, chemical distribution lines, and irrigation or water treatment setups where metal pipe is unsuitable due to corrosion concerns. Its black polypropylene body handles a range of fluids including mildly corrosive solutions. The MNPT threading allows direct connection to standard female NPT fittings, valves, and pipe couplings. It is a common choice when routing piping through tight spaces or making up short extensions on threaded assemblies.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for added pressure and impact resistance
• Rated to 20 psi maximum working pressure
• Maximum working temperature of 180 degrees F
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion and many chemicals
• MNPT threads conform to ASTM D4101 standards
• Black color for UV and chemical identification in system layouts

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten polypropylene fittings with pipe wrenches, as over-torquing can crack thermoplastic threads.
