Schedule 80 PVC pipe nipple for pressurised water
This grey Schedule 80 PVC nipple connects two female-threaded fittings in non-potable or potable water systems. It handles a maximum operating pressure of 140 psi and temperatures from 40 to 140 Degrees F. The 12 in overall length suits tight runs where a standard coupling is too short.
Male NPT threads on one end
Side A carries 6 in male NPT threads for direct engagement with a female adapter or valve. The opposite end is a 12 in TBE spigot that slides into a Schedule 80 socket for solvent welding. This mixed connection lets you transition from threaded to glued joints without an extra coupling.
Nominal 6 in size with 5 23/32 in inside diameter
The 6 in nominal bore and 5 23/32 in inside diameter set the flow capacity for the line. Builders who need a larger bore or a different schedule must select another fitting. This nipple is not for compressed air or chemical service beyond the stated water ratings.

Questions about this item
What does the 140 psi maximum operating pressure cap in practice?
The Schedule 80 PVC nipple is rated for 140 psi at 140 °F, so the pressure limit applies to non-potable or potable water systems operating within the 40 °F to 140 °F temperature range.
What clearance does the 6 1/2 in outside diameter need to fit?
The 6 1/2 in OD requires a matching Schedule 80 socket or threaded fitting with at least that much internal clearance, plus enough pipe run to accommodate the 12 in overall length.
How do I install the MNPT end without cracking the PVC?
Wrap the male threads with PTFE tape, hand-tighten into the female fitting, then turn one to two full turns with a strap wrench — over-torquing splits the Schedule 80 wall.
