DURA PNIPB050-080 1/2" x 8" TBE PVC Nipple Schedule 80
Durable Schedule 80 PVC nipple engineered for threaded connections and reliable water-handling installations. The DURA PNIPB050-080 is a 1/2" nominal (NPT) threaded nipple with an 8" overall length and male threads on both ends (TBE). Its thicker Schedule 80 wall construction provides greater strength and improved resistance to pressure and impact compared with Schedule 40, making it a dependable choice for irrigation, sprinkler, pool, and general plumbing systems.
- Material: Gray PVC (Schedule 80) for improved durability and chemical resistance in typical water-service environments.
- Size: 1/2" nominal thread size, 8" length (manufacturer specified).
- Threading: Male pipe threads on both ends (TBE/MPT). Use PTFE tape or approved pipe sealant for leak-tight joints.
- Applications: Ideal for irrigation, sprinkler systems, pool plumbing, and outdoor water-handling installations. Not recommended for compressed air or gas service.
- Installation notes: Hand-start threads, then tighten with a wrench; avoid over-torquing to prevent thread damage. Verify compatibility with mating fittings and thread type before installation.
- Compliance: DURA fittings frequently meet applicable industry standards for water service; consult product labeling or manufacturer documentation for specific NSF/ANSI certifications.
Available for single-piece purchases and bulk orders. This nipple is suited to repair and new-install workflows where a heavier-wall Schedule 80 fitting is required. Always confirm system temperature and pressure requirements and follow local codes and manufacturer recommendations when specifying or installing PVC pipe fittings.
