The Spears 88 Series Schedule 80 PVC Nipple is engineered to connect two compatible threaded pipes, ensuring a secure and durable seal. Featuring male NPT threads on both ends, this fitting is specifically designed to integrate with pipes equipped with female NPT threaded ends.

PVC material also provides high structural strength while remaining substantially lighter than traditional metal alternatives, facilitating easier handling and installation. The fitting is designed to withstand a maximum operating temperature of 140°F, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid handling applications.
Quality and safety are paramount in the design of the 88 Series. This product meets ASTM D1784 and D2467 standards, ensuring consistent performance and material integrity. Additionally, it is certified by NSF International for potable water service, providing assurance for applications requiring safe water handling.
