A Schedule 80 PVC pipe nipple with male pipe threads (MPT) on both ends, designed for secure connections in pressure plumbing applications. This fitting is used to extend pipe runs and connect components where an extension is needed, such as in sprinkler systems where the fitting must be positioned above ground level to prevent damage.
The Schedule 80 rating indicates this nipple is engineered to handle pressure environments reliably. Its dual male threads allow for direct connection to female-threaded fittings or components on both sides, making it ideal for situations where you need a rigid extension between two female-threaded ports.
