Value Collection 885-025 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 885-025 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure durability are required. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in pipe diameter and 2.5 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple connects two threaded fittings or acts as a short extension between threaded pipe sections. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding fluid transfer applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, chemical transfer lines, and irrigation assemblies where non-metallic, corrosion-resistant connections are preferred. The 1-1/4 inch size fits standard 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded female fittings and valves. Gray coloring is standard for Schedule 80 PVC, making it visually distinguishable from Schedule 40 fittings on the job site. It is commonly used in both above-ground and enclosed piping runs where PVC is code-permitted.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size with NPT-style external threads on both ends
• 2.5 inch length suitable for close-coupled connections and short extensions
• Gray color identifies this as Schedule 80 per industry convention
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material resists rust, scale, and many common chemicals

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded PVC piping systems using Schedule 80 components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading or unthreading any fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant on all NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
