Value Collection 885-005C Cpvc Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 885-005C is a Schedule 80 CPVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressure piping systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in pipe size and 1-5/8 inches in length, this short nipple is molded from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) and carries a gray color consistent with Schedule 80 plastic fittings. It is threaded on both ends for direct connection to standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple when a close, rigid connection is needed between two threaded components in a CPVC piping run.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, chemical handling, and industrial process piping applications where CPVC material is specified. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for systems operating at elevated pressures or temperatures. Typical install scenarios include connecting threaded valves, union fittings, or equipment ports in hot and cold water distribution, irrigation systems, and corrosive fluid handling lines.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure capability versus Schedule 40
• CPVC construction offers superior chemical and heat resistance compared to standard PVC
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 1-5/8 inch overall length for close-coupled connections
• Gray color coding consistent with Schedule 80 plastic piping standards
• Threaded both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems using 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Before installation, shut off the water supply and depressurize the line. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant tape or compound on all threaded joints — do not use solvents or adhesives not rated for CPVC. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack the fitting body; hand-tight plus one to two turns with a strap wrench is the standard practice for plastic-threaded fittings.
