Value Collection 882-030 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1/2 in 3 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 882-030 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized piping systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Measuring 0.5 inch nominal pipe size and 3 inches in length, this nipple is molded from gray PVC and features NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, or equipment. At 0.25 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure-bearing capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding plumbing and industrial fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical distribution, and pool or spa piping systems where PVC Schedule 80 is specified. Its gray color is consistent with standard Schedule 80 PVC identification. The 3-inch length makes it appropriate for close-coupled connections where a short run of threaded pipe is needed between two fittings or threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Apply PTFE thread tape or an appropriate thread sealant rated for PVC to all threaded joints before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a strap wrench to avoid overtightening, which can crack PVC threads. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded components.
