Value Collection 886-045 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 886-045 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility matter. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in pipe size and 4-1/2 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features male NPT threads on both ends. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure-bearing capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for more demanding fluid-handling applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when connecting threaded PVC pipe runs or transitioning between valves, unions, and other threaded components.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, industrial process lines, and chemical-handling systems where metal pipe is not appropriate. Schedule 80 PVC is commonly selected for cold-water supply, drain and vent applications, and chemical distribution lines. The gray color is standard for Schedule 80 PVC and helps distinguish it from white Schedule 40 fittings on the job.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating over Schedule 40
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility
• 1-1/2 inch pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• 4-1/2 inch overall length suits close-quarter and standard offset installations
• Gray color standard for Schedule 80 PVC identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting compatible with 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using standard NPT thread patterns.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use thread sealant tape or paste rated for PVC and the specific fluid being conveyed. Do not over-torque PVC threads, as the material can crack under excessive force.
