Value Collection 887-035 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 2 in Threaded

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 887-035 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 nominal pipe diameter and 3.5 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple features NPT-style threads on both ends for direct connection to threaded fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies. At 0.96 pounds, it is lightweight enough for overhead and tight-space installations. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 PVC, making it suitable for demanding liquid-service applications.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa piping, and industrial process lines where PVC is an approved material. Threaded PVC nipples of this type are commonly installed between valves and fittings, at pump connections, and at equipment inlets and outlets. Plumbers, pool service technicians, and irrigation contractors regularly use threaded PVC nipples to make up close-coupled connections where a cut-and-glued fitting is not practical.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure rating than standard Schedule 40
• 2-inch nominal pipe size with threaded ends for connection to standard NPT fittings
• 3.5-inch overall length suitable for close-coupled or nipple-extension applications
• Gray color standard for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems
• Lightweight at 0.96 pounds, easing handling in confined or overhead spaces
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material compatible with a wide range of water and chemical service applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service threaded nipple for 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using NPT-threaded fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Threaded PVC nipples should be installed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or replacing any threaded nipple. Use PTFE tape or a PVC-compatible thread sealant on male threads — do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Avoid using pipe wrenches directly on PVC without protective jaw covers to prevent crushing or stress fractures.
