Value Collection 886-060 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 886-060 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in pipe diameter and 6 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features male NPT threads on both ends, allowing it to connect two female-threaded fittings or valves in a straight-run configuration. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-demand liquid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a standard close-coupling component in both above-ground and in-wall assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa equipment plumbing, chemical feed lines, and irrigation manifolds where PVC is an approved material. The gray coloring and Schedule 80 rating indicate suitability for applications requiring additional wall strength and durability over standard Schedule 40 components. It is a single-piece, ready-to-install fitting that requires no additional machining before installation.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure handling compared to Schedule 40
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT male threads on both ends
• 6 inches overall length for close-coupling applications
• Gray PVC color consistent with Schedule 80 standard identification
• Lightweight at 0.74 pounds, simplifying handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple for use with 1-1/2 inch female NPT fittings, valves, and threaded pipe couplings in compatible PVC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing code and IPC guidelines for PVC threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the nipple during installation, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before making any threaded connections or disconnections.
