The 3/4" Schedule 80 PVC Nipples and Risers are the professional choice for creating strong, rigid connections between threaded components in your system. Unlike standard white Schedule 40 PVC, these gray Schedule 80 fittings feature thicker walls to handle higher pressure ratings and physical stress. Always apply thread sealant tape to the male threads to ensure a water-tight seal.
Available in a variety of lengths—from "Close" (where threads meet) to extended risers—these nipples are essential irrigation fittings for building filter manifolds, connecting valves, or extending sprinkler heights. Their UV-resistant gray construction makes them suitable for both exposed outdoor installations and buried high-pressure mainlines.

Ensure a leak-free connection with proper technique.
Step 1: Clean Threads
Wipe both the male threads of the nipple and the female threads of the receiving fitting to remove dirt or debris.
Step 2: Apply Tape
Wrap Thread Sealant Tape clockwise around the male threads. Use 3-4 wraps for a secure seal.
Step 3: Hand Tighten
Screw the nipple into the fitting by hand until it is snug. Ensure it is not cross-threaded.
Step 4: Final Tightening
Use a strap wrench or pliers to give it a final 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the female fitting.
