Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 215017 1.5″ x 1.75″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 215017 1.5″ × 1.75″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple is a high-quality PVC component designed to provide strong, reliable threaded connections in pressurized piping systems. Engineered for durability, precision, and long-term performance, this Schedule 80 nipple is ideal for plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa, water treatment, and light industrial applications where medium-length threaded connections are required.

Constructed from premium Schedule 80 PVC, the 215017 nipple features thicker walls than Schedule 40 alternatives, offering superior strength and excellent pressure-handling capabilities. The reinforced design helps resist cracking, deformation, and mechanical stress caused by system pressure fluctuations, vibration, or frequent operation. This makes it a reliable choice for both professional installations and demanding environments where system integrity and longevity are essential.

With a 1.5-inch nominal diameter and a 1.75-inch overall length, this threaded nipple is ideal for short-to-medium connections between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Its compact length allows installers to connect components efficiently without adding unnecessary piping, streamlining system layouts and reducing potential leak points. This makes it especially useful for manifold assemblies, equipment pads, and tight-space installations where precise spacing is crucial.

Both ends of the nipple are equipped with precision-molded male pipe threads that meet standard threading specifications. These threads engage smoothly with compatible female-threaded fittings, minimizing the risk of cross-threading during installation. When used with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape, the threaded connections provide a secure, leak-resistant seal, ensuring reliable operation over time.

PVC construction offers significant advantages over metal components, particularly in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions. The Westlake 215017 nipple is naturally resistant to corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. It will not seize, pit, or scale over time, reducing maintenance requirements and extending the service life of the piping system.

Despite its durable construction, the lightweight nature of PVC makes this nipple easy to handle and install. Installers benefit from faster assembly and reduced fatigue compared to heavier metal fittings, while still achieving professional-grade, pressure-rated connections. The Schedule 80 design ensures dependable strength without compromising ease of installation.

Manufactured to strict dimensional tolerances, the 215017 nipple delivers consistent thread engagement and reliable fit across installations. This precision minimizes installation errors, reduces rework, and ensures compatibility with other Schedule 80 PVC fittings, valves, and components. The standard gray finish blends seamlessly with existing piping systems, maintaining a clean and professional appearance.

Overall, the Westlake Pipe & Fittings 215017 1.5″ × 1.75″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple is a dependable, durable solution for short-to-medium threaded connections. Its robust construction, corrosion resistance, and precision manufacturing make it a trusted component for plumbing, irrigation, pool, and light industrial piping applications.
