Value Collection 886-030 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 886-030 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection between fittings, valves, or threaded pipe segments. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance than Schedule 40, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and trade plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters select Schedule 80 PVC nipples when system pressure ratings or chemical exposure rule out metal alternatives.

This nipple is used in cold and ambient-temperature water supply, irrigation, chemical transfer, and industrial process piping systems where PVC is an approved material. It is commonly installed in residential and light commercial mechanical rooms, pool and spa equipment pads, water treatment systems, and similar plumbing configurations. At 1-1/2 inches nominal pipe size, it fits standard IPS-threaded fittings and valves of the same diameter. It is not rated for hot water or steam service.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides thicker walls and higher pressure rating compared to Schedule 40
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends for standard fitting compatibility
• 3 inch overall length suits close-proximity connection needs between fittings or equipment ports
• Gray PVC material offers resistance to corrosion, rust, and many common chemicals
• Lightweight at 0.53 pounds, reducing handling effort during installation

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC use to all male threads before assembly. Do not use petroleum-based pipe dopes that can degrade PVC, and do not over-torque threaded joints, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
