This fitting is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, and is suitable for use in chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems. Additionally, PVC can be connected to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

The maximum operating temperature for this PVC nipple fitting is 140 degrees F. It meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This schedule 80 PVC nipple fitting is suitable for connecting pipes to convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in various industries.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in numerous industries. Consideration of the application is important when purchasing pipe fittings, as this affects material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
