Lasco 1.5" X 4" Threaded Nipple, Gray PV215040
The Lasco 1.5" x 4" Threaded Nipple, Gray (PV215040) is a heavy-duty Schedule 80 PVC nipple with male threads on both ends, perfect for making short, rigid connections between 1.5" threaded pool fittings, valves, and equipment. Its compact 4-inch length is ideal for tight equipment pads and high-pressure pool or spa plumbing runs.
Key Features & Benefits
- 1.5" male NPT threads on both ends (TBE – threaded both ends) let you easily join two female-threaded fittings without glue couplings, simplifying pump and equipment connections.
- Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides extra strength and pressure capability compared to Schedule 40, ideal for pump discharge, high-head systems, or exposed plumbing.
- Gray PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical attack from chlorinated water, most pool and spa chemicals, and outdoor environments.
- Smooth interior bore helps maintain good flow and lower friction loss versus metal fittings.
- Great for compact equipment pads, manifolds, and retrofit repairs where you need a short, sturdy threaded link between components.
