Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 220020 2″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 220020 2″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple is a premium PVC component designed for reliable, high-performance threaded connections in pressurized piping systems. Engineered for durability, strength, and precision, this Schedule 80 nipple is ideal for plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa, water treatment, and light industrial applications where medium-length threaded connections are needed.

Constructed from Schedule 80 PVC, the 220020 nipple features thicker walls than standard Schedule 40 fittings, providing superior structural integrity and excellent pressure-handling capabilities. Its reinforced construction resists cracking, deformation, and mechanical stress caused by system pressure fluctuations or vibration, making it a dependable choice for professional and demanding installations where long-term system reliability is essential.

With a 2-inch nominal diameter, this threaded nipple is designed to accommodate larger flow volumes while maintaining system efficiency. Its standard length allows installers to create short-to-medium connections between fittings, valves, or equipment ports without requiring additional couplings. This simplifies piping layouts and reduces potential leak points, making it ideal for manifold assemblies, equipment connections, and retrofit projects.

Both ends of the nipple feature precision-molded male pipe threads that meet standard threading specifications. The 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 long-lasting performance and system integrity.

PVC construction offers key advantages over metal alternatives, especially in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions. The Westlake 220020 nipple is naturally resistant to corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Unlike metal components, it will not seize, pit, or scale over time, reducing maintenance needs and extending the 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 components, while still achieving professional-grade, pressure-rated connections.

Manufactured to strict dimensional tolerances, the 220020 nipple delivers consistent thread engagement and reliable fit across installations. This precision reduces installation errors, minimizes rework, and ensures compatibility with other Schedule 80 PVC fittings, valves, and components. The standard gray finish integrates seamlessly with existing piping systems, maintaining a clean and professional appearance.

Overall, the Westlake Pipe & Fittings 220020 2″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple is a durable, reliable, and versatile solution for medium-length threaded connections. Its robust construction, corrosion resistance, and precise manufacturing make it a trusted choice for plumbing, irrigation, pool, and light industrial piping systems.
