PNIPB050-180 is a 1/2 in x 18 in Schedule 80 PVC nipple manufactured by DURA. Designed with male threads on both ends (TBE), this solid gray PVC nipple provides a compact, reliable connection for irrigation, pump assemblies and higher-pressure plumbing work where Schedule 80 strength is required.

  • Material: Schedule 80 PVC (gray) for enhanced wall thickness and improved pressure resistance compared with Schedule 40.
  • Connection: Male pipe threads (MPT) on both ends—standard tapered threading for secure, threaded connections.
  • Size & fit: Nominal 1/2 in diameter with an overall length of 18 in; mates with standard 1/2 in female threaded fittings.
  • Applications: Commonly used in irrigation manifolds, pump plumbing, and other above-ground or buried systems requiring a threaded nipple rated for heavier duty service.
  • Installation tips: Use PTFE (Teflon) tape or pipe thread sealant on the male threads; tighten to appropriate torque and avoid over-tightening to prevent stress on fittings.

This DURA Schedule 80 nipple is a straightforward solution when you need a threaded, durable connection in tight runs or extensions. Its thicker Schedule 80 walls offer greater mechanical strength and chemical resistance for demanding irrigation and plumbing installations. Order by SKU PNIPB050-180 to ensure correct sizing and thread type.
