Value Collection 886-005 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 886-005 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing and fluid-handling systems where a short, rigid connector is needed between threaded fittings or valves. Sized for 1.5-inch pipe with an overall length of 1.75 inches, this nipple is molded from PVC and finished in gray. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure resistance compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for both low-pressure water distribution and chemical-handling lines where PVC is a compatible material. Installation requires no solvent welding — connections are made entirely via threaded engagement on both ends.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, pool and spa piping, and industrial process lines where PVC construction is specified. Its compact 1.75-inch length makes it useful in tight spaces where a close nipple or a longer extension would not fit properly. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install Schedule 80 PVC threaded fittings in applications requiring added wall strength, particularly where pipe is exposed or subject to mechanical stress.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides increased wall thickness and higher pressure rating versus Schedule 40
• 1.5-inch pipe size with 1.75-inch overall length for compact installations
• Threaded on both ends for tool-only assembly with no solvent cement required
• Gray PVC material offers good chemical resistance for a broad range of fluid types
• Lightweight at 0.45 pounds for easy handling in overhead or confined installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for 1.5-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, pool, and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing any existing fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant on all male threads before engagement. Do not over-torque PVC threaded connections — hand-tight plus one to two turns with a strap wrench is the standard practice to avoid cracking the fitting.
