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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 885-040C is a Schedule 80 CPVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressure piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in pipe diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple is molded from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) and finished in gray. The threaded ends allow direct connection to standard fittings and valves without solvent cementing at the joint. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this type of nipple in both new construction and repair applications where metal corrosion is a concern.

Schedule 80 CPVC pipe nipples are commonly installed in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, chemical handling lines, and hot and cold water distribution where elevated pressure or temperature ratings are needed compared to Schedule 40. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 provides added strength for threaded connections, which are inherently thinner-walled after thread cutting or molding. This nipple is suited for use in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and industrial plumbing runs.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher pressure service than Schedule 40
• CPVC material offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluids
• 1-1/4 inch pipe size with 4-inch overall length for close-quarter connections
• Threaded ends for connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Gray color consistent with Schedule 80 CPVC product identification standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit nipple for Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems using 1-1/4 inch pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC pressure piping. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use PTFE tape or a CPVC-compatible thread sealant on male threads and avoid over-tightening, which can crack CPVC fittings. Do not use petroleum-based solvents or incompatible pipe dopes that can degrade CPVC material.
