Spears 882-120UV Sch 80 Uv Resistant Pvc Nipple

Product Description

The SPEARS 882-120UV is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple with UV-resistant construction, sized at 0.5 inches by 12 inches. It provides a rigid, threaded connection for joining sections of pipe in pressure-rated systems. Schedule 80 PVC offers thicker walls than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure applications. The UV-resistant formulation resists degradation from prolonged sun exposure, making this nipple a practical choice for outdoor installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting as part of new construction or retrofit piping systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa circulation, and chemical distribution lines where UV exposure is a concern. The 12-inch length accommodates standard close-to-medium offset connections between fittings, valves, and equipment. It is appropriate for above-ground outdoor runs where sunlight contact is unavoidable and where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified by design or code.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• UV-resistant PVC compound for outdoor and exposed installation environments
• Threaded ends for standard NPT fitting connections
• 0.5 inch nominal pipe size with 12 inch laying length
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds, reducing handling effort during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 0.5 inch NPT Schedule 80 PVC piping systems and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for PVC and the intended service fluid. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
