Nibco CC07500 Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1-1/2 in X 6 in Pp Black

Product Description

The NIBCO CC07500 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing and industrial piping systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this black polypropylene nipple offers greater wall thickness than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure and higher-stress applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on systems that handle corrosive fluids, drainage, or chemical process lines where metal fittings are not appropriate.

This nipple is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations, as well as industrial applications involving acids, bases, and other corrosive media that would degrade metal pipe. The threaded ends allow straightforward connection to compatible Schedule 80 fittings, valves, and equipment. It is commonly used in chemical feed systems, water treatment installations, and general plumbing rough-in work where polypropylene is the specified material.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating versus Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction resists a wide range of corrosive chemicals
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with 6 inch length for standard nipple applications
• Threaded ends for direct connection to compatible fittings and valves
• Black color for easy identification in mixed-material piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any nipple. Use a strap wrench rather than metal pipe wrenches on polypropylene to avoid cracking the fitting body. Apply PTFE tape rated for use with plastic fittings to the threaded ends before making up the joint.
