Value Collection 886-020 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 886-020 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized piping systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in pipe diameter and 2 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features threaded ends on both sides for direct connection between fittings, valves, or equipment. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding plumbing and industrial fluid-handling applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as a short connector segment within a threaded piping run.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical distribution, and pool or spa piping where PVC construction is specified. The 1-1/2 inch diameter is a common size in drain, waste, and supply lines as well as pump discharge connections. Its gray coloring is standard for Schedule 80 PVC, distinguishing it visually from white Schedule 40 components on the job site.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Thread all connections using the appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and the fluid media being conveyed. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Do not over-tighten PVC threaded fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
