Value Collection 884-050 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1in 5in Schedule 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 884-050 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Measuring 1 inch in pipe diameter and 5 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded connections. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding industrial, commercial, and residential plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a short threaded extension or connection between fittings is needed.

This nipple is appropriate for cold and hot water distribution lines, chemical handling systems, irrigation assemblies, and general industrial piping where metal corrosion is a concern. The PVC construction resists rust, scale, and a broad range of chemicals, making it a common choice in pool and spa plumbing, water treatment systems, and light industrial fluid handling. Its compact 5-inch length suits close-coupled connection scenarios where a longer nipple would not fit.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure rating than standard Schedule 40 fittings
• 1-inch nominal pipe size with NPT threading on both ends
• 5-inch overall length suitable for close-coupled or extension connections
• Gray color standard for Schedule 80 PVC identification
• Corrosion-resistant material eliminates rust and scale buildup
• Lightweight at 0.53 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation threaded pipe nipple compatible with 1-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded fittings and valves in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and hand-tighten before using a strap wrench to avoid overtightening, which can crack PVC fittings. Do not use metal pipe wrenches directly on PVC threads.
