Value Collection 882-060 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Sch 80 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 882-060 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple used to create short, rigid connections in low-pressure plumbing and fluid-handling systems. Machined from gray PVC, this nipple measures 1/2 inch pipe size and 6 inches in length with NPT threads on both ends. At 0.3 pounds, it is lightweight and resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for cold and ambient-temperature water lines, chemical transfer, and irrigation applications where metal corrosion is a concern. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified trade technicians following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for added pressure resistance or mechanical strength. Typical applications include water distribution, chemical lines, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and condensate drain assemblies. The gray PVC construction and Schedule 80 rating make it a common choice in exposed or semi-exposed runs where a heavier wall is specified by code or design.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating compared to Schedule 40
• Gray PVC construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility
• 1/2 inch pipe size with NPT threads on both ends for standard fittings
• 6 inches nominal length for short offset and extension connections
• Lightweight at 0.3 pounds for easy handling and reduced system load

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple for use with 1/2 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings in PVC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant rated for PVC on all NPT connections. Do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting or the nipple body.
