Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 220060 2″ x 6″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 220060 2″ × 6″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple is a premium PVC component engineered for secure, durable, and long-lasting threaded connections in pressurized piping systems. Designed for strength, reliability, and precision, this Schedule 80 nipple is ideal for plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa systems, water treatment, and light industrial applications that require medium-to-long threaded connections.

Constructed from high-quality Schedule 80 PVC, the 220060 nipple features thicker walls than standard Schedule 40 fittings, offering superior structural integrity and excellent pressure-handling capability. Its reinforced design resists cracking, deformation, and mechanical stress caused by pressure fluctuations, vibration, or frequent use, ensuring dependable performance in demanding installations where system reliability is critical.

With a 2-inch nominal diameter and a 6-inch overall length, this threaded nipple provides an ideal solution for bridging moderate distances between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Its extended reach allows installers to connect components efficiently without additional couplings, streamlining system layouts and reducing potential leak points. This makes it especially useful in manifold assemblies, equipment pads, and retrofit projects requiring precise spacing.

Both ends of the nipple feature 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 combined with thread sealant or PTFE tape, the threaded connections form a secure, leak-resistant seal, ensuring long-term system integrity and reliable operation.

PVC construction offers significant advantages over metal alternatives, particularly in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions. The Westlake 220060 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 allows for easy handling and installation. 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 reliable strength without compromising ease of installation.

Manufactured to strict dimensional tolerances, the 220060 nipple provides 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. Its standard gray finish integrates seamlessly with existing piping systems, providing a clean and professional appearance.

Overall, the Westlake Pipe & Fittings 220060 2″ × 6″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple delivers a durable, dependable, and versatile solution for medium-to-long threaded connections. Its robust construction, corrosion resistance, and precision manufacturing make it a trusted component for plumbing, irrigation, pool, and light industrial piping systems.
