Value Collection 886-055 Pvc Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 886-055 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple used for joining sections of pipe in low-pressure fluid and drain systems. Molded from gray PVC, this nipple measures 1-1/2 inches in nominal pipe size and 5-1/2 inches in overall length. The NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to standard threaded fittings, valves, and couplings. At 0.99 pounds, it is lightweight enough for overhead or confined-space runs. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure resistance than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for more demanding service conditions. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in potable water, irrigation, chemical distribution, and industrial process lines.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a short threaded close-to-standard-length extension is needed between fittings. Common applications include connecting threaded valves to pipe runs, extending a threaded port on a pump or strainer, and making up assemblies in tight spaces where a longer nipple would not fit. The gray PVC construction resists corrosion, making it a practical choice for wet or chemically active environments where metal nipples would degrade over time.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness for increased pressure capacity over Schedule 40
• 1-1/2 inches nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• 5-1/2 inches overall length suits close-quarter fitting assemblies
• Gray PVC construction resists corrosion and common chemicals
• Lightweight at 0.99 pounds, suitable for overhead and confined-space installations

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber should install this fitting in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings. Apply a PVC-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not use solvent cement on threaded connections, and do not exceed the pressure rating of the Schedule 80 system as a whole.
