Value Collection 890-060 Pvc Pipe Nipple 4 in Sch 80 Threaded

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 890-060 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe nipple sized at 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length. It is manufactured from gray PVC and is designed for use in pressurized piping systems where a threaded close or short-run connection is required. Schedule 80 PVC offers a thicker wall than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure applications in chemical, industrial, and plumbing piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component when making threaded connections in PVC piping runs. At 2.28 pounds, it is a solid, full-bodied fitting built to hold tight under system pressure.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling systems where PVC piping is specified. The 4-inch diameter makes it appropriate for larger-diameter branch or main-line connections. Its gray coloring is standard for Schedule 80 PVC, distinguishing it visually from lower-pressure Schedule 40 fittings. Applications include chemical drainage, water treatment, HVAC condensate mains, and general process piping where corrosion resistance and moderate pressure ratings are needed.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40
• 4-inch nominal pipe diameter for large-bore piping connections
• 6-inch overall length suitable for close nipple applications in tight spaces
• Threaded ends for direct connection to female-threaded PVC fittings or valves
• Gray PVC construction resists corrosion, chemicals, and moisture
• Weighs 2.28 pounds for a full-bodied, durable build

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 4-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems. Fits standard 4-inch female NPT PVC fittings, couplings, valves, and unions conforming to Schedule 80 pipe threading standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing any existing pipe sections. Use PTFE thread tape or a compatible PVC thread sealant rated for the fluid being conveyed when making up threaded joints. Do not use pipe wrenches directly on PVC without strap protection, as overtightening can crack the fitting or nipple body.
