Value Collection 887-005 Pvc Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 887-005 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 2 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. At 0.12 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers and pipefitters use Schedule 80 nipples in industrial, commercial, and residential systems where heavier wall thickness is specified for added pressure capacity over standard Schedule 40 fittings.

This nipple is suited for cold and ambient-temperature water service, chemical distribution lines, irrigation systems, and pool or spa plumbing where threaded PVC connections are required. The gray color is standard for Schedule 80 PVC, distinguishing it visually from Schedule 40 white fittings on the job site. It is commonly installed at pump inlets and outlets, filter headers, chemical injection points, and manifold assemblies in both residential and light commercial applications.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• 2 inch nominal pipe size with 2 inch face-to-face length
• NPT threaded both ends for standard fitting compatibility
• PVC construction resists corrosion and many common chemicals
• Gray color identifies Schedule 80 rating at a glance on the job site

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using 2 inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for PVC to the male threads before assembly, and tighten by hand first, then wrench-tighten carefully to avoid cracking the PVC. Do not over-torque PVC fittings, as the material is susceptible to stress fractures under excessive force.
