Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 220080 2″ x 8″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 220080 2″ × 8″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple is a premium PVC component designed to provide durable, high-performance threaded connections in pressurized piping systems. Engineered for strength, reliability, and precision, this Schedule 80 nipple is ideal for plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa systems, water treatment, and light industrial applications requiring medium-to-long threaded connections.

Constructed from Schedule 80 PVC, the 220080 nipple features thicker walls than standard Schedule 40 fittings, delivering superior structural integrity and excellent pressure-handling capabilities. The 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 essential.

With a 2-inch nominal diameter and an 8-inch overall length, this threaded nipple provides an extended solution for bridging longer gaps between valves, fittings, or equipment ports. Its extended reach allows installers to connect components efficiently without additional couplings, simplifying piping layouts and reducing potential leak points. This makes it particularly suitable for manifold assemblies, equipment connections, 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 connections create a secure, leak-resistant seal, ensuring long-term system integrity and reliable operation.

PVC construction provides significant advantages over metal alternatives, especially in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions. The Westlake 220080 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 service life of the piping system.

Despite its robust 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 use.

Manufactured to strict dimensional tolerances, the 220080 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.

Overall, the Westlake Pipe & Fittings 220080 2″ × 8″ Threaded Schedule 80 Nipple provides a durable, dependable, and versatile solution for medium-to-long threaded connections. Its high-quality construction, corrosion resistance, and precision manufacturing make it a trusted component for plumbing, irrigation, pool, and light industrial piping systems.
