Value Collection 882-020 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1/2x2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 882-020 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 2 inches in length, this nipple features NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections. The gray PVC construction provides durability in water, irrigation, and chemical service applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install these nipples as close or short connectors between threaded components in both above-ground and in-wall assemblies.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, chemical distribution lines, and pool and spa plumbing where metal corrosion is a concern. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure-handling capability than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for applications with elevated system pressures. It is commonly used wherever a short threaded PVC connection is needed between valves, pumps, filters, or other threaded fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe diameter with 2 inch overall length
• Gray PVC material offers resistance to corrosion and many chemicals
• Threaded on both ends for connection to standard NPT fittings
• Lightweight at 0.24 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with 1/2 inch NPT threaded PVC fittings, valves, and piping systems conforming to Schedule 80 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten PVC threaded connections, as excessive torque can crack the fitting.
