Nibco CC08150 Poly Pipe Nipple Sch 80 3in X 5in Black

Product Description

The NIBCO CC08150 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded pipe nipple designed for use in industrial and commercial piping systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Measuring 3 inches in pipe diameter and 5 inches in length, this black polypropylene nipple features NPT threads on both ends for straightforward installation into threaded fittings, valves, and equipment connections. Polypropylene construction makes it suitable for a range of fluid handling applications where metal corrosion is a concern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and chemical handling systems where polypropylene's resistance to acids, bases, and solvents is an advantage. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40 pipe, making it appropriate for moderate-pressure service lines. It is commonly used in drain, waste, and vent configurations as well as chemical feed and transfer lines.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating over Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction offers resistance to a wide range of chemicals and corrosive fluids
• Threaded both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Black color finish standard for this material and schedule
• Lightweight at 0.46 pounds, reducing handling fatigue during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit component for Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded piping systems using 3-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for use with polypropylene and the conveyed fluid should be applied to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque polypropylene fittings, as the material is less forgiving than metal and can crack under excessive force. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before replacing or adding any threaded nipple in an existing line.
