Value Collection 887-060 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 2x6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 887-060 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressure-rated plumbing and industrial piping systems. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, it features male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to threaded fittings, valves, or pipe couplings. Constructed from gray PVC, this nipple offers corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility suited to a wide range of fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both above-ground and in-wall configurations where a short, rigid threaded section is required between components.

Schedule 80 PVC nipples are commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, chemical distribution lines, and industrial process piping. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 provides greater pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for systems operating at elevated pressures or in environments where added mechanical strength is needed. This nipple is suited for cold and ambient-temperature liquid service within the rated limits of PVC.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to standard Schedule 40
• 2-inch nominal diameter with male NPT threads on both ends
• 6-inch overall length for short run connections between threaded fittings
• Gray PVC construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility
• Lightweight at 1.14 pounds, reducing handling effort during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2-inch NPT threaded Schedule 80 PVC piping systems and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or a listed pipe-thread sealant on male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque PVC threaded connections, as PVC is more susceptible to thread damage than metal pipe.
