CPVC Pipe Fitting Nipple, 1/2 NPT Male, 1-1/2 Length

The Spears schedule 80 CPVC nipple fitting has male NPT threads on both ends, allowing for the connection of pipes with female NPT threaded ends. This fitting, made of medium gray CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and better resistance to high temperatures and pressures than PVC (polyvinyl chloride). As a result, it is suitable for connecting pipes in residential and commercial applications, specifically for hot and cold water pressure distribution systems.

The National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on the fitting create a tighter seal than straight threads, ensuring a secure connection. This CPVC nipple fitting can also be connected to other materials, such as steel or copper, using transition fittings. With a maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F, it meets ASTM International D1784 and F439 standards for quality assurance and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. Additionally, it is American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Type Approved for marine and offshore applications, ensuring its reliability and durability in various settings.

In terms of industry applications, this schedule 80 CPVC nipple fitting is suitable for connecting pipes that convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids. Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in a wide range of industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the specific application, as this will determine the material type, shape, size, and required durability. These fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, as well as in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, the producer of this fitting, specializes in thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. Established in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, the company meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001, ensuring high-quality products.

To summarize, this nipple fitting with male NPT threads on both ends is an essential component for connecting two threaded pipes. Its CPVC construction offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and better resistance to high temperatures and pressures than PVC. Meeting industry standards for quality assurance and certification, it is suitable for various applications, including potable water service and marine and offshore settings.
