Value Collection 884-020C Cpvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1x2 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 884-020C is a Schedule 80 CPVC threaded pipe nipple used to make close-coupled connections in hot and cold water, chemical, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1 inch in pipe size and 2 inches in length, this nipple fits between two female-threaded fittings or valves where a short, rigid run is needed. CPVC construction handles higher temperature and pressure service than standard PVC, making it appropriate for hot water distribution and light chemical lines. At 0.27 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hot and cold water distribution, and chemical transfer systems where CPVC is the specified material. Its gray color is standard for Schedule 80 CPVC and helps distinguish it from lower-pressure Schedule 40 white fittings on the job site. It is commonly used in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and process piping where corrosion resistance and temperature tolerance above standard PVC limits are required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• CPVC material withstands higher service temperatures than standard PVC
• Both ends threaded for direct connection to female-threaded fittings or valves
• Gray color provides visual identification as Schedule 80 material on site
• Lightweight at 0.27 pounds for easy single-hand installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-inch Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems. Compatible with standard 1-inch NPT female-threaded CPVC, PVC, or metal fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC piping. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing nipple. Use a CPVC-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threads — do not use petroleum-based pipe dopes, as they can degrade CPVC. Hand-tighten first, then use strap wrenches rather than metal pipe wrenches to avoid cracking the fitting body.
