Value Collection 884-030 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 884-030 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Measuring 1 inch in pipe diameter and 3 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features male NPT threads on both ends for quick connection between fittings, valves, or other threaded components. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it suited for demanding applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting as part of larger threaded assemblies in both new construction and repair work.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical handling, and industrial piping applications where PVC is a code-approved material. The 1-inch diameter fits standard 1-inch NPT threaded pipe systems. Its compact 3-inch length is useful for close-coupled connections where minimal spacing between fittings is needed. Gray Schedule 80 PVC is commonly specified in industrial and process piping environments where additional wall strength is required over standard white Schedule 40 fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• 1-inch pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 3-inch overall length for close-coupled fitting connections
• Gray PVC construction resists corrosion and most common chemicals
• Lightweight at 0.34 pounds per piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-inch NPT threaded PVC piping systems and Schedule 80 PVC fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before using a strap wrench to avoid cracking the PVC body. Do not use metal pipe wrenches directly on PVC without protection, as overtightening can fracture the fitting.
