Value Collection 889-060 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 3x6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 889-060 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple measuring 3 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length. It is manufactured from gray PVC and features NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections in pressurized piping systems. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure ratings and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40 equivalents, making this nipple appropriate for demanding industrial, commercial, and plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are priorities.

This PVC threaded nipple is commonly installed in water distribution, irrigation, chemical handling, and industrial process piping systems where metal corrosion is a concern. Its gray Schedule 80 construction suits above-ground and exposed installations in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial facilities, and municipal water service applications. It connects standard 3-inch threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in both pressure and drainage configurations where PVC materials are code-approved.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides thicker walls and higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• 3-inch diameter with 6-inch overall length for standard nipple applications
• Gray PVC material offers corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 1.83 pounds, simplifying overhead and tight-space installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting compatible with 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using NPT-standard connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant rated for PVC and the intended service fluid. Do not over-torque PVC threaded fittings, as excessive force can crack the material; hand-tighten and advance only as needed to achieve a leak-free seal.
