Value Collection 888-030C Cpvc Pipe Nipple 2.5in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 888-030C is a Schedule 80 CPVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Sized for 2.5-inch pipe with a 3-inch overall length, this nipple is molded from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) and finished in gray. The threaded ends allow direct connection to fittings, valves, and equipment without additional sealants beyond standard thread tape or pipe compound. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for hot and cold water distribution, chemical transfer lines, and industrial plumbing systems where metal pipe would be susceptible to corrosion. The CPVC material handles elevated temperatures and a range of chemicals that would degrade standard PVC. Typical install scenarios include connecting valves and equipment in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and process piping where threaded CPVC fittings are specified. The short 3-inch length makes it useful as a close nipple extension between two threaded fittings or as an equipment stub-out.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure rating versus Schedule 40
• CPVC material resists corrosion, scaling, and a broad range of chemicals
• Threaded ends for tool-assisted assembly with standard NPT fittings and valves
• 3-inch length suits close-coupled and stub-out applications
• Gray color finish standard for Schedule 80 CPVC identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2.5-inch Schedule 80 CPVC threaded plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC threaded fittings. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting. Apply PTFE thread tape or a CPVC-compatible thread sealant compound to male threads before assembly, and tighten with strap wrenches to avoid over-torquing the plastic threads. Do not use solvent or primer on the threaded ends, as this fitting relies on mechanical thread engagement rather than solvent welding.
