DURA 1/2" x 6" Schedule 80 PVC Threaded Both Ends Nipple PNIPB050-060
Durable Schedule 80 PVC threaded nipple designed for reliable irrigation and plumbing connections. The DURA PNIPB050-060 is a 1/2" nominal fitting with male pipe threads on both ends (TBE), sized for a 6" overall length. Manufactured to Schedule 80 dimensions, this nipple provides thicker walls than Schedule 40 alternatives for added strength and impact resistance in demanding outdoor and underground irrigation applications.
- Material: Schedule 80 PVC (gray) for corrosion resistance and long life.
- Size: 1/2" nominal (fits standard 1/2" threaded fittings); overall length 6".
- Threading: Threaded Both Ends (TBE) with standard 1/2" male pipe threads (MPT).
- Applications: Irrigation, sprinkler systems, landscape plumbing, and general water handling where Schedule 80 strength is required.
- Installation: Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape; hand-start threads, then tighten with a suitable wrench—avoid over-torquing.
- Safety note: Not recommended for compressed air or gas systems; threaded fittings have lower pressure ratings than solvent-weld assemblies.
This PNIPB050-060 nipple is a simple, cost-effective component for building and repairing threaded PVC systems. Its Schedule 80 construction gives extra wall thickness for improved durability when connecting valves, adapters, and risers. Check your system’s thread type and pressure requirements before installation; for higher-temperature or gas applications consult product specifications or choose an approved metal fitting.
