Value Collection 883-040 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 3/4x4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 883-040 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized plumbing and fluid-handling systems. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple features NPT-style threads on both ends for direct connection to standard threaded fittings, valves, and pipe. The gray PVC construction provides solid corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments. At 0.29 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters commonly install this fitting in industrial, commercial, and residential applications where a short, rigid threaded section is needed between two connection points.

This nipple is suited for cold water supply lines, chemical distribution systems, irrigation manifolds, and general-purpose fluid transfer where PVC is an approved material. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for more demanding service conditions. It is typically installed in systems that do not carry hot water or steam, as PVC has defined temperature limitations that must be observed per applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure tolerance versus Schedule 40
• 3/4 inch pipe size with 4-inch overall length for short-run connections
• PVC material resists corrosion and chemical degradation in wet environments
• Threaded both ends for connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Gray color standard for Schedule 80 PVC identification in the field
• Lightweight at 0.29 pounds for easy single-hand installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple compatible with 3/4 inch NPT fittings, valves, couplings, and threaded pipe in PVC plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC pressure piping. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or a compatible PVC-rated thread compound to the male threads before assembly. Do not use PVC nipples in systems carrying steam, hot water above rated temperatures, or solvents incompatible with PVC.
