Durable DURA Schedule 80 PVC nipple, 2-1/2" nominal diameter by 12" length, with threaded both ends (TBE) for secure, removable connections. Schedule 80 PVC offers thicker walls than Schedule 40, giving improved strength and suitability for higher-pressure irrigation and above-ground plumbing systems when a threaded connection is required.

  • Material: Schedule 80 PVC for added rigidity and impact resistance.
  • Configuration: Threaded both ends (TBE) with standard male pipe threads (MPT) for simple connection to compatible fittings and valves.
  • Size: 2-1/2" nominal diameter × 12" length — fits standard 2-1/2" Schedule 80 threaded fittings.
  • Applications: Ideal for irrigation, drainage, and general above-ground plumbing where a threaded PVC connection is preferred.
  • Installation & care: Use PTFE thread sealant or tape on threads, avoid over-torquing, and follow local plumbing codes for safe installation.

This nipple is a straightforward, reliable choice when you need a threaded PVC connection with the added strength of Schedule 80 material. Refer to pipe and fitting thread standards when matching to existing components, and contact a qualified plumber if you have questions about pressure, compatibility, or installing in pressurized systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does TBE mean on this nipple?
TBE stands for Threaded Both Ends, meaning both ends have standard male pipe threads for threaded connections.
Is Schedule 80 PVC compatible with Schedule 40 fittings?
Schedule 80 has thicker walls; it connects to threaded Schedule 80 fittings. Use adapters or confirm thread compatibility before joining to Schedule 40 parts.
How should I seal the threaded connections?
Apply PTFE thread tape or a suitable pipe thread sealant to male threads, tighten to hand-tight plus a quarter turn, and avoid over-torquing.
