Value Collection 890-040 Pvc Pipe Nipple 4 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 890-040 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple sized at 4 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length. It is designed for use in pressurized fluid conveyance systems where a short, rigid threaded connection is required between fittings, valves, or equipment. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding plumbing and industrial piping applications. Installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters, this gray PVC nipple offers corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility suited to a wide range of water and fluid service environments.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, industrial process piping, irrigation systems, and pool and spa plumbing where threaded PVC connections are specified. Its gray coloration and Schedule 80 rating align with standard practice for pressure piping runs. The 4-inch diameter makes it appropriate for main distribution lines, pump connections, and manifold assemblies. It is also used in chemical handling applications where PVC material provides adequate resistance to a broad range of corrosive fluids.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• 4-inch diameter and 4-inch length for compact threaded connections
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility
• Threaded ends for direct connection to threaded fittings and valves
• Gray color consistent with Schedule 80 PVC piping standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using 4-inch diameter fittings, valves, and equipment connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Use thread sealant tape or compound rated for PVC and the fluid service involved; do not overtighten threaded PVC connections, as the material is susceptible to stress cracking from excessive torque. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fitting before assembly to ensure a clean, leak-free joint.
