Value Collection 15398 Pvc Threaded Pipe Nipple 1 in X 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 15398 is a short PVC threaded pipe nipple used to make close-coupled connections in low-pressure plumbing and fluid-handling systems. It has a 1-inch nominal pipe size and measures 1-1/2 inches in overall length. The gray PVC construction resists corrosion and is well suited for water supply, irrigation, chemical distribution, and drain applications where metal nipples would corrode or add unnecessary weight. Plumbers and pipefitters install these nipples when connecting two threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports in tight spaces. Each pack contains 5 nipples.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and chemical-handling lines. The short 1-1/2-inch length makes it appropriate for close-nipple configurations where minimal standoff between fittings is needed. It is also common in industrial fluid-transfer setups where PVC is the specified material for corrosion resistance. Installers typically use these in conjunction with PVC ball valves, couplings, tees, and elbows of matching 1-inch pipe size.

Key Features

• 1-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading for broad fitting compatibility
• 1-1/2-inch overall length suits close-coupled and tight-clearance installations
• Gray PVC material resists corrosion, chemical attack, and rust
• Lightweight construction reduces load on threaded connections and equipment ports
• Sold in a pack of 5, reducing per-unit cost on multi-point installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1-inch NPT threaded PVC plumbing systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing nipple or fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for PVC and the conveyed fluid before threading the nipple into place. Do not overtighten PVC threaded connections; hand-tight plus a modest amount of wrench turns is sufficient to avoid cracking the fitting.
