Value Collection 885-040 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in 4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 885-040 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in pipe diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple is molded from gray PVC for corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility in a wide range of fluid-handling applications. Both ends carry standard NPT threads, allowing direct connection to fittings, valves, or other threaded pipe components. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water supply, irrigation, chemical transfer, and industrial process lines.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for elevated pressure service or where additional mechanical strength is needed over Schedule 40. Typical applications include water treatment, pool and spa circulation piping, irrigation manifolds, and industrial fluid systems handling compatible chemicals. The gray PVC color is standard for Schedule 80 pressure pipe, making it easy to distinguish from Schedule 40 in mixed installations.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher pressure service than Schedule 40
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance and broad chemical compatibility
• 1-1/4 inch pipe size with 4 inch face-to-face length
• Gray color standard for Schedule 80 pressure pipe identification
• NPT threaded on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.54 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use component for 1-1/4 inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, pool, and industrial fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC pressure pipe. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up connections. Do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
