DURA 3/4 in x 18 in Schedule 80 PVC Nipple, Threaded Both Ends
Made for irrigation, risers and general plumbing repairs, this Schedule 80 PVC nipple from DURA delivers a durable, high-pressure connection where a short run of threaded pipe is needed. The 3/4 in nominal size and 18 in length provide a reliable straight section with male threads on both ends for fast installation into female-threaded fittings. Schedule 80 wall thickness offers greater pressure capacity and improved mechanical strength over Schedule 40 fittings, making this nipple suitable for systems that require added rigidity and impact resistance.
- Material: Schedule 80 PVC for increased pressure rating and chemical resistance.
- Size: 3/4 in nominal x 18 in overall length (fits standard 3/4 in female pipe threads).
- Threading: Threaded Both Ends (male NPT/MPT style threads) for direct connection to female-threaded fittings.
- Use cases: Irrigation lines, sprinkler risers, valve connections, and short threaded extensions.
- Durability: Rigid PVC construction resists corrosion, many chemicals, and UV when exposed intermittently.
Installation is straightforward: apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the male threads and hand-start the nipple into the female fitting before final tightening with a wrench. Avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage. Inspect joints periodically for leaks and replace if threads are stripped or fittings show stress. For pressure systems, confirm compatibility with system chemistry and operating temperature. This DURA Schedule 80 nipple offers an economical, long-lasting solution when a short, threaded PVC connection is required.
