Value Collection 890-050 Pvc Pipe Nipple 4 in Sch 80 Threaded

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 890-050 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized plumbing and fluid-handling systems. Measuring 4 inches in pipe diameter and 5 inches in length, this nipple features NPT-style threads on both ends for direct connection to compatible fittings, valves, and equipment. The gray PVC construction offers strong chemical resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of water, chemical, and industrial fluid applications. Weighing 2.04 pounds, it is a rigid, full-bodied nipple that meets the dimensional and pressure requirements of Schedule 80 standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical distribution, and industrial process piping where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for added pressure capacity. Its gray PVC material makes it a common choice in systems where corrosion resistance and lightweight handling are priorities. It is typically installed in threaded piping assemblies using appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape per local plumbing code requirements.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40
• 4 inch pipe diameter with 5 inch overall length for standard close-nipple installations
• Gray PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical degradation
• Threaded on both ends for compatibility with standard NPT fittings and valves
• Lightweight rigid body simplifies handling and installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using 4 inch nominal pipe size fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local and national plumbing codes, including the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
