Value Collection 887-045 Pvc Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 887-045 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized fluid and chemical handling systems. Measuring 2 inches in nominal pipe size and 4.5 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant threaded connection between two female-threaded fittings or valves. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness is heavier than Schedule 40, making it suited for higher-pressure applications where added strength and chemical resistance are required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance techs use these nipples in irrigation, chemical transfer, pool and spa plumbing, and water treatment installations where metal corrosion is a concern.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems that call for Schedule 80 PVC components. Common install scenarios include pool and spa equipment rooms, irrigation manifolds, water treatment skids, and industrial process lines handling non-petroleum fluids compatible with PVC. Both ends are threaded NPT-style for standard connection to Schedule 80 PVC fittings, valves, and unions. The gray color is standard for Schedule 80 PVC and helps distinguish it from white Schedule 40 components in the field.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides heavier wall thickness and higher pressure rating than Schedule 40
• 2-inch nominal pipe size with 4.5-inch overall length suits common manifold and equipment connections
• Gray color is standard for Schedule 80 PVC, allowing quick visual identification on the job
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material performs in chemical, pool, and water treatment environments
• Both ends threaded for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded fittings, valves, and unions in plumbing, pool, and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Apply thread sealant tape or PVC-compatible thread compound to all male threads before assembly. Do not use solvent cement on threaded PVC nipples. Hand-tighten connections first, then advance with a strap wrench only enough to achieve a leak-free seal, as over-tightening can crack Schedule 80 PVC fittings. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing or replacing any threaded nipple in an active system.
