Value Collection 886-025 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 886-025 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe with a total length of 2.5 inches, this nipple features male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection between fittings, valves, or other threaded components. The gray PVC construction makes it suitable for cold and ambient-temperature fluid handling in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial process lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these nipples as part of new construction, retrofit, or repair work.

This nipple is suited for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems where higher wall thickness and pressure rating are specified over Schedule 40. Common applications include water distribution, chemical drainage, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial process piping. It performs in non-threaded-through conditions where a short, rigid connection between two female-threaded ports is needed. Its compact 2.5-inch length makes it useful in tight spaces where standard-length nipples would not fit.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Gray PVC construction resists corrosion, rust, and many common chemicals
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• 2.5 inch overall length suits close-coupled installations
• Lightweight at 0.52 pounds, reducing load on fittings and supports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using standard NPT thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten followed by wrench tightening to avoid cracking the PVC. Do not overtighten, as PVC threads can fracture under excessive torque.
