Value Collection 888-040C Cpvc Pipe Nipple 2.5in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 888-040C is a Schedule 80 CPVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized plumbing and piping systems. At 2.5 inches nominal pipe size and 4 inches in length, this nipple provides a short, rigid threaded connection between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Constructed from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), it offers superior heat and chemical resistance compared to standard PVC, making it well-suited for hot-water distribution and industrial fluid-handling applications. The gray coloring is standard for Schedule 80 CPVC pipe products, and the heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 provides increased pressure ratings over Schedule 40.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where threaded connections are required at 2.5 inches nominal pipe diameter. Common applications include hot and cold water distribution lines, chemical process piping, and mechanical room connections. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers during new construction, renovation, or maintenance work where a compact threaded section is needed to join two female-threaded components or transition between piping segments.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• CPVC material resists corrosion, chlorine, and elevated service temperatures
• Threaded ends on both sides for standard NPT female-threaded fittings and valves
• 2.5 inches nominal pipe size suits larger-diameter plumbing and mechanical systems
• 4 inches overall length keeps the connection compact in tight installations
• Gray color is standard for Schedule 80 CPVC, aiding quick visual identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems at 2.5 inches nominal pipe size using standard NPT threading.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe section before removing any existing fitting or nipple. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for CPVC on all threaded joints. Do not use pipe wrenches with excessive leverage on CPVC fittings, as overtightening can crack the material.
