Durable DURA Schedule 80 PVC nipple sized for standard 1/2" connections. This threaded-both-ends (TBE) fitting provides a compact, reliable way to join two female 1/2" pipe fittings in irrigation, sprinkler, or general plumbing applications where a thicker-walled Schedule 80 part is preferred for extra strength and abrasion resistance.

  • Size: 1/2" nominal diameter, 12" overall length — fits standard 1/2" female pipe threads.
  • Material & Rating: Schedule 80 PVC construction for thicker walls and greater rigidity than Schedule 40, suitable for irrigation and many general plumbing tasks.
  • Connection: Threaded both ends (male pipe threads, MPT / MPT) for straightforward coupling to female-threaded fittings and valves.
  • Finish & Appearance: Gray PVC finish for easy identification and compatibility with other PVC Schedule 80 components.
  • Installation: Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape; tighten 1–2 turns past finger tight to form a secure plastic threaded connection without over-tightening.

This DURA nipple is ideal when a short, threaded run is needed to connect two female-threaded components in tight spaces. Schedule 80 provides added strength over Schedule 40 while maintaining outside-diameter compatibility with common fittings. Always verify compatibility with local plumbing codes and system pressure requirements before installation. For best results, use compatible thread sealant and avoid excessive torque which can damage threads or the fitting.
