Spears 887-220ex Pvc Sch 80 Pipe Nipple 2 X 22 Inch

Product Description

The SPEARS 887-220ex is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple rated for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications. Fabricated from gray PVC to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this nipple measures 2 inches in diameter and 22 inches in length, with NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to threaded fittings, valves, and equipment. The heavier wall construction of SCH 80 provides greater pressure rating and impact resistance compared to SCH 40, making it well suited for chemical handling, irrigation systems, and process piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this fitting type.

This fitting is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where PVC is specified. Common applications include chemical distribution lines, water treatment systems, pool and spa plumbing, and irrigation supply runs. The 22-inch length makes it suitable for spanning longer gaps between threaded connections without additional couplings, simplifying layout in tight mechanical rooms or equipment bays.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness for higher pressure capacity than standard SCH 40 nipples
• Fabricated PVC construction for consistent dimensional accuracy along the full 22-inch length
• Threaded on both ends for tool-free dry-fit alignment before final makeup
• Gray color coding consistent with SCH 80 PVC system components for easy field identification
• Compatible with standard NPT threaded fittings and valves in 2-inch PVC piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant rated for PVC and the intended media. Do not over-torque threaded PVC connections, as excessive force can crack the fitting or the mating component.
