PNIPB050-040 — 1/2" x 4" Sch 80 PVC TBE Nipple
Durable Schedule 80 PVC nipple engineered for threaded connections in irrigation, sprinkler, pool and general plumbing systems. The PNIPB050-040 is a 1/2" (nominal) x 4" threaded-both-ends (TBE) nipple manufactured by DURA. Its Schedule 80 PVC construction delivers greater wall thickness and strength than Schedule 40 while maintaining standard outside dimensions for compatibility with common fittings.
- Material: Molded Schedule 80 PVC — designed for mechanical strength, chemical resistance and long service life in non-potable and irrigation applications.
- Threading: 1/2" MPT x MPT (male pipe threads) on both ends for secure threaded connections; compatible with standard female NPT/MPT fittings.
- Typical performance: Distributors list Schedule 80 DURA nipples with common ratings up to 140°F; confirm exact pressure ratings for your size and application by consulting manufacturer data.
- Applications: Ideal for irrigation sprinkler risers, drip system assemblies, pool equipment and other threaded PVC plumbing where a short, threaded nipple is needed.
- Installation: Use approved PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant on threads, hand-tighten and finish with a wrench 1–2 turns. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
