The DURA PNIPO050-240 is a 1/2" nominal diameter, 24" long Schedule 80 PVC toe nipple designed for reliable connections in irrigation and general plumbing systems. One end is threaded for a secure mechanical connection while the opposing end is a smooth slip (toe) for solvent-weld joining to PVC pipe or fittings. Schedule 80 PVC provides thicker walls than Schedule 40 for improved mechanical strength where additional rigidity or impact resistance is needed.

  • Material: Schedule 80 PVC — durable, corrosion-resistant thermoplastic suited to water distribution and irrigation applications.
  • Dimensions: 1/2" nominal diameter x 24" length — extra reach for connecting spaced fittings or running short service lines.
  • Connections: One threaded male end for a mechanical seal and one smooth slip (toe) end for solvent-weld installation.
  • Compatibility: Works with standard PVC threaded fittings and solvent-weld joints; compatible with common PVC solvent cements and primers when properly installed.
  • Applications: Ideal for irrigation systems, lateral runs, pressure piping, and general-purpose PVC assemblies requiring a long nipple with mixed connection types.
  • Installation guidance: Use PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant on the threaded end and proper PVC primer and solvent cement for the slip end; avoid excessive torque to prevent cracking.

This toe nipple provides a straightforward, cost-effective connector when a combination of threaded and solvent-weld connections is required. Select Schedule 80 for added wall thickness and mechanical durability. Always observe local plumbing and irrigation codes, and consult product specifications or customer support for compatibility and availability information before installation.
