Value Collection 883-055 Pvc Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 883-055 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized piping systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Measuring 3/4 inch in pipe diameter and 5.5 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features male NPT threads on both ends for straightforward inline connections. At 0.39 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for applications demanding additional mechanical strength. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters commonly install this fitting in industrial, commercial, and residential systems.

This nipple is suited for use in cold and hot water distribution, chemical drain lines, irrigation systems, and other fluid-handling applications where PVC is an approved material. The gray Schedule 80 designation indicates compatibility with higher-pressure service compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings. It is commonly installed in process piping, water treatment setups, and general plumbing rough-in work where a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, or equipment ports is required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and higher pressure ratings
• 3/4 inch nominal pipe size with male NPT threads on both ends
• 5.5 inch length suitable for close-coupled connections between fittings or valves
• Gray PVC material resists corrosion and many common chemicals
• Lightweight at 0.39 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3/4 inch NPT threaded PVC fittings, valves, and Schedule 80 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and hand-tighten before using a strap wrench to avoid cracking the PVC body. Do not use pipe wrenches directly on PVC without protection, and never over-torque threaded PVC connections.
