Schedule 80 Pvc Pipe Nipple, 1/2 X 2 In.

A Schedule 80 PVC pipe nipple is a threaded connector used to join or extend male pipe thread (MIP) fittings in pressurized plumbing systems. The B & K 403-020 model measures 1/2 inch by 2 inches and is commonly used in sprinkler systems where an extension is needed for the sprinkler head to be positioned above ground level, and may also be used to prevent damage to the sprinkler head. This nipple works equally well in general plumbing repairs and pressure applications.

Constructed from rigid PVC material with Schedule 80 construction, this fitting resists mild acids, solvents, and oils, making it suitable for diverse environments. The smooth interior wall reduces pressure loss and improves water volume compared to conventional metal alternatives. Lead-free construction meets NSF and ANSI standards. The fitting is designed for use in pressure plumbing applications.
