Benefits & Applications

These 2" polypropylene threaded nipples solve common problems with metal fittings such as rust, corrosion, and chemical attack. Their chemical resistance makes them suitable for chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and industrial fluid lines. The lightweight construction speeds handling and installation for plumbing, irrigation, agricultural systems, and drainage lines. With a typical temperature tolerance up to 200°F (93°C), they work well in warm water systems — just confirm limits for high-temperature or pressurized systems. Use thread sealant and account for thermal expansion when connecting to dissimilar materials to ensure long-term leak-free performance.

Installation Tips

• Confirm thread type and compatibility with existing pipes or fittings.
• Apply PTFE (Teflon) tape or appropriate pipe thread sealant to male threads.
• Do not exceed the recommended temperature or pressure ratings for polypropylene.
• Allow for thermal expansion when joining to metal piping to prevent stress.
