Spears 881-005 Schedule 80 PVC Close Nipple 3/8 Inch MNPT

The Spears 881-005 is a 3/8-inch Schedule 80 PVC close nipple designed for high-pressure plumbing and industrial piping applications. This molded PVC nipple features male National Pipe Thread (MNPT) connections on both ends, providing a secure, threaded connection between two female-threaded fittings or components.

Key Features:

• Schedule 80 construction offers superior wall thickness and pressure rating compared to Schedule 40
• Close nipple design provides the shortest possible length for tight-fitting connections
• Male NPT threads on both ends for versatile installation options
• Molded PVC construction resists corrosion, chemicals, and biological attack
• Gray color for easy identification in piping systems
• Manufactured domestically to meet ASTM D2464 standards

Ideal for connecting two female-threaded fittings in water supply systems, chemical processing lines, irrigation systems, and industrial applications where space is limited and high pressure resistance is required. The Schedule 80 rating ensures reliable performance in demanding environments with higher pressure and temperature requirements than standard Schedule 40 PVC.
