Value Collection 882-030C Cpvc Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 882-030C is a Schedule 80 CPVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized plumbing and fluid-handling systems. Measuring 1/2 inch nominal pipe size and 3 inches in length, this nipple provides a rigid, fully threaded connection between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. CPVC construction offers higher temperature and pressure resistance than standard PVC, making it suitable for hot and cold water lines as well as many chemical and industrial service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers, and this nipple is recognizable by its gray color and Schedule 80 wall thickness.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a short, threaded extension or close nipple connection is required. Common applications include water supply lines, chemical distribution piping, irrigation manifolds, and HVAC condensate systems requiring Schedule 80 rated fittings. The 1/2 inch nominal size fits standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded fittings and valves. Its compact 3-inch length suits tight-clearance installations where longer pipe sections are not practical.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 CPVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure rating compared to Schedule 40
• Fully threaded along the 3-inch length for standard NPT connections
• Gray color provides easy visual identification as Schedule 80 material on the job
• CPVC material supports higher service temperatures than standard PVC pipe
• Compact 3-inch length suits close-quarter and tight-clearance piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded CPVC or metal fittings in Schedule 80 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any threaded connections. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant or tape rated for plastic pipe threads — do not use petroleum-based pipe dopes that can degrade CPVC. Hand-tighten first, then use a strap wrench rather than metal pipe wrenches to avoid cracking the nipple body during final tightening.
