The B&K ProLine Schedule 80 2 in. MIP x 2 in. MIP PVC 5 in. Nipple is a purpose-built connector designed for demanding pressure piping. With its thick-walled Schedule 80 construction and dual MIP (male iron pipe) threads, this 5-inch nipple delivers dependable, leak-resistant connections where space is tight and reliability matters.
What makes it stand out
-
Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides enhanced strength and resistance to pressure surges compared to standardSchedule 40 fittings, making it ideal for higher-demand systems.
-
2 in. MIP x 2 in. MIP ends give secure, threaded connections to compatible female adapters, reducing the chance of loosening under vibration or thermal cycling.
-
5-inch length offers the precise reach you need to bridge components in tight spaces without compromising flow or integrity.
-
Lead-free material supports safe, potable-water applications and cleaner long-term performance.
-
NSF Listed: Yes and ANSI Certified: Yes provide confidence in quality and suitability for public or commercial water systems.
-
Maximum pressure: 200 psi and Maximum temperature: 140°F define the operating envelope, helping you select the right piece for your specific service conditions.
-
Single-piece packaging ensures you receive a ready-to-install nipple without extra fittings or parts.
Who it's for
This ProLine nipple is built for plumbers, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts working with PVC pressure piping in residential, commercial, or agricultural settings. It’s well-suited for water supply lines, irrigation runs, pump-to-pipe connections, and other systems where strong, reliable MIP-to-MIP connections are needed without the risk of brittle failure in demanding environments.
How it helps you work smarter
-
Durable, long-lasting connections reduce maintenance calls and give you peace of mind in critical water or chemical-handling applications.
-
Thick-wall Schedule 80 design tolerates higher pressures and more demanding install conditions than lighter-duty options.
-
Clear specifications—lead-free, NSF listed, and ANSI certified—help you meet safety and building-code requirements with confidence.
Practical tips for installation
Prepare threads with an appropriate thread sealant rated for PVC/MIP connections, and avoid overtightening to prevent cross-threading. Align the nipple carefully with the mating adapters to ensure a clean, leak-free seal. When disassembling is anticipated, consider using a penetrating lubricant on threaded joints to ease future service while preserving the integrity of the PVC threads.
