Value Collection 886-040 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 886-040 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple used to create short, rigid connections in plastic piping systems. Rated for higher pressure applications than Schedule 40, this gray PVC nipple measures 1-1/2 inches in pipe size and 4 inches in length with NPT threads on both ends. Its heavier wall thickness makes it suitable for industrial, chemical, and plumbing installations where added strength and corrosion resistance are required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as a close or short extension between threaded pipe fittings, valves, and unions.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial fluid handling where PVC is an approved piping material. The 1-1/2 inch size is common in drain, waste, and vent configurations as well as supply and recirculation lines. It connects between threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports wherever a rigid, corrosion-resistant short-run connection is needed.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 4 inches overall length for short rigid connections
• PVC construction resists corrosion, rust, and many chemicals
• Gray color standard for Schedule 80 PVC identification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded Schedule 80 PVC piping systems and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Apply thread sealant tape or a PVC-compatible pipe dope to the male threads before assembly; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing threaded nipples. Do not use this fitting with solvent-cement connections without the appropriate adapter fittings.
