Value Collection 884-040 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 80 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 884-040 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 nominal pipe size and 4 inches in length, this nipple features NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded components. Weighing 0.38 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. The gray PVC construction is well suited for cold and ambient-temperature fluid service in plumbing, irrigation, chemical distribution, and industrial process piping.

This nipple is a standard component in residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa mechanical systems, and irrigation supply lines. It is commonly used by plumbers and pipe fitters to make close or short-run threaded connections between fittings and equipment. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for applications where elevated system pressures are expected. Gray coloration is standard for Schedule 80 PVC, making it easy to distinguish from lower-schedule components in the field.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipe fitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local authority requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing threaded components. Apply a PVC-compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not use solvent cement on threaded connections, and do not over-tighten, as PVC threads are susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
