Value Collection 890-005 Pvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 890-005 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized fluid and plumbing systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Manufactured from gray PVC, this nipple measures 4 inches in pipe size and 2-7/8 inches in length. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding residential and light commercial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when assembling or repairing threaded PVC piping runs.

This pipe nipple is suited for cold and ambient-temperature water supply, irrigation, chemical handling, and drain systems where threaded PVC connections are specified. Its gray coloring is consistent with Schedule 80 PVC standards. The short 2-7/8 inch body length makes it appropriate for close-coupled connections between threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports where minimal spacing is available.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard threaded PVC fittings and valves
• Gray color consistent with Schedule 80 PVC identification standards
• 2-7/8 inch body length suitable for close-coupled installations

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before threading or unthreading any fittings. Use appropriate PVC-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape on threads — do not use solvent cement on threaded joints. Avoid over-tightening, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
