DURA 1/2 in x 10 in Schedule 80 PVC TBE Nipple (1/2 in MPT)
The DURA PNIPB050-100 is a 1/2 in x 10 in Schedule 80 PVC nipple with threads on both ends (TBE). Engineered for threaded PVC systems, this nipple delivers a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection for irrigation, sprinkler and general plumbing applications where a durable, precision-molded threaded fitting is required.
- Size: 1/2 in nominal diameter x 10 in length (manufactured to standard 1/2 in threading).
- Material: Schedule 80 PVC for heavier-walled strength versus Schedule 40.
- Connection: Threaded both ends (TBE) with standard 1/2 in MPT external threads for compatibility with threaded PVC fittings and adapters.
- Applications: Ideal for sprinkler risers, irrigation repairs, funny pipe assemblies and other threaded PVC connections.
- Installation tip: Use a PTFE (Teflon) tape or thread sealant compatible with PVC; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading and finish with a wrench—do not over-torque.
This nipple is precision molded for consistent thread engagement and reliable fit. It resists corrosion and chemical degradation common in metal alternatives, and its Schedule 80 construction offers added rigidity where higher wall thickness is preferred. Keep fittings clean before assembly and store indoors when possible to avoid prolonged UV exposure.
