Value Collection 890-060C Cpvc Pipe Nipple Sch 80 4x6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 890-060C is a Schedule 80 CPVC threaded pipe nipple used to create short, rigid connections in industrial and commercial piping systems. Measuring 4 inches in pipe size and 6 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), a material rated for higher temperature and pressure service than standard PVC. The gray coloring is standard for Schedule 80 CPVC fittings, making it easy to identify wall thickness and schedule at a glance. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required alongside elevated operating temperatures.

This nipple is suited for hot and cold water distribution, chemical process lines, and industrial fluid handling applications where metal pipe is not desired. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for more demanding service conditions. It installs in threaded pipe systems using standard NPT fittings and is commonly found in commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating versus Schedule 40
• CPVC material offers superior high-temperature and chemical resistance compared to standard PVC
• 4-inch pipe size with 6-inch overall length for close-coupled connections
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Gray color coding consistent with Schedule 80 CPVC industry convention

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems using 4-inch NPT connections.

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 or installing any threaded nipple. Use a thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for CPVC and the specific fluid being carried, and avoid over-tightening, which can crack CPVC fittings. Do not use pipe wrenches with excessive leverage directly on CPVC nipples without proper backing support.
