Value Collection BD-16830 Cpvc Pipe Nipple 1/2 in 3 in Gray 5pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-16830 is a CPVC threaded pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Manufactured from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this nipple fits 1/2 inch pipe and measures 3 inches in length. The gray CPVC material handles higher temperature ranges than standard PVC, making it suitable for both hot and cold water distribution lines. Sold in a pack of 5, this nipple ships fully threaded on both ends and is ready for installation without additional machining. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this fitting type.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications including domestic hot and cold water supply lines, irrigation system headers, and chemical distribution where CPVC is code-approved. The threaded connection style allows for tool-assisted makeup with standard pipe wrenches and CPVC-compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape. Each pack contains 5 nipples, making it practical for multi-point repairs or new rough-in work requiring consistent fittings at the same size and length.

• 1/2 inch pipe size with 3 inch length suits common residential supply line applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch CPVC threaded plumbing systems. Consult local plumbing codes to confirm CPVC approval for the intended application.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local code. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting or installing this nipple. Use only CPVC-compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape on threaded joints. Do not use solvent-based pipe dope products formulated for metal pipe, as these may degrade CPVC material.
