Value Collection 888-005C Cpvc Pipe Nipple 2.5in Schedule 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 888-005C is a Schedule 80 CPVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressure piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Manufactured from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this nipple handles higher operating pressures than standard Schedule 40 fittings and resists a broad range of corrosive fluids. At 2.5 inches in pipe size and 2.5 inches in length, it fills short close-nipple connections in plumbing, industrial, and process piping layouts. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, chemical distribution lines, and industrial process piping where CPVC material is specified. The threaded ends allow direct connection to Schedule 80 CPVC fittings, valves, or other threaded components without additional adapters. Its gray color is the standard indicator for Schedule 80 CPVC pipe and fittings, making identification straightforward during installation and inspection.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• CPVC construction provides chemical and corrosion resistance beyond standard PVC
• Threaded ends for direct, tool-ready connection to compatible fittings and valves
• Gray color coding consistent with Schedule 80 CPVC industry standard
• 2.5 inches pipe size by 2.5 inches length for close-coupled installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems in plumbing and industrial process applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of CPVC threaded fittings is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant or tape rated for plastic fittings — do not use petroleum-based compounds that can degrade CPVC. Hand-tighten first, then snug with a strap wrench to avoid over-torquing and cracking the fitting.
