The 2-1/2 in. x 3 in. Schedule 80 PVC Nipple is a Schedule 80 PVC nipple for extending or connecting threaded PVC piping in chemical dosing, water treatment, pool, irrigation, and industrial fluid systems where metal corrosion is a concern. Threaded on both ends for extending a PVC threaded connection. Schedule 80 gray PVC provides heavier wall thickness and higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 white PVC — the standard for pressure-critical chemical systems.
