Value Collection 887-055 Pvc Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 80 5.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 887-055 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 5.5 inches in length, this gray PVC nipple provides a rigid, threaded connection between fittings, valves, or equipment. Schedule 80 PVC offers thicker walls than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water distribution, chemical lines, irrigation systems, and industrial process piping.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa equipment connections, irrigation manifolds, and chemical handling lines where metal corrosion is a concern. The NPT-style threads allow direct makeup with standard PVC fittings, valves, and female threaded adapters. It is well suited for cold and ambient-temperature water service as well as many chemical and industrial fluid applications compatible with PVC material.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 pipe
• 2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard 2-inch PVC fittings and valves
• 5.5-inch length provides a close extension between threaded connections
• Gray PVC construction resists corrosion, scale, and many chemicals
• Threaded ends for tool-free hand-start makeup with compatible fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use component compatible with standard 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing threaded nipples. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant on male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten PVC threaded connections, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
