Value Collection 885-035 Pvc Threaded Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 885-035 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial piping systems. It measures 1-1/4 inches in pipe size and 3-1/2 inches in length, with male NPT threads on both ends for straightforward integration into threaded fittings and valves. The gray PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical exposure, making it a practical choice in environments where metal nipples are prone to rust or degradation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple when connecting two female-threaded components or extending a threaded run. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure handling capability compared to Schedule 40, suitable for higher-demand applications.

This nipple fits residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa equipment lines, chemical feed systems, and irrigation manifolds where PVC Schedule 80 pipe is specified. The 1-1/4 inch size is commonly found in main supply lines, pump discharge connections, and filter manifolds. It ships as a single unit and is suited for both new installation and repair work requiring a short close-to-standard nipple run.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and equipment connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Apply an appropriate PVC-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly — do not use pipe dope compounds that are incompatible with PVC. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid supply completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Hand-tighten first, then use strap wrenches or channel-lock pliers to finish — avoid metal pipe wrenches that can crack PVC under excessive torque.
