Value Collection 887-025 Pvc Pipe Nipple 2in X 2.5in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 887-025 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Measuring 2 inches in pipe size and 2-1/2 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features threaded ends on both sides for direct connection between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for more demanding plumbing and industrial fluid-handling applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as a short connector or close extension in threaded PVC runs.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa systems, and chemical handling lines where metal pipe is not appropriate. The gray Schedule 80 PVC construction is a standard choice in environments that require resistance to many acids, bases, and chlorinated water. It is installed inline wherever a short threaded section is needed between two threaded fittings or at an equipment connection point.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure rating versus Schedule 40
• 2 inches nominal pipe size with 2-1/2 inches overall length
• Gray color standard for Schedule 80 PVC identification
• Threaded ends for connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material suitable for water, irrigation, and chemical service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 2-inch threaded Schedule 80 PVC piping systems in plumbing, pool, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for PVC and plastic fittings to all male threads before assembly. Do not use metal pipe wrenches directly on PVC without protective padding, and avoid over-tightening, which can crack the fitting.
