Boshart NIPPL Schedule 80 Pipe Nipple

The Boshart NIPPL is a Schedule 80 pipe nipple built for rough-in plumbing applications where a short, threaded connector is needed to join two fittings, valves, or supply stops behind the wall or under the floor. This nipple is available in two sizes — 1/2" x 2-1/2" and 1-1/2" x 2" — so installers can select the size that matches the trade size and length needed for a given rough-in assembly. Schedule 80 construction gives every size in this family a heavier wall thickness than standard Schedule 40 nipples, making it a common choice on jobsites where a more robust threaded connection is called for between fittings in a supply or drain run. This is a trade rough-in component intended for plumbers and contractors assembling pipe systems, not a decorative or finish-grade part. With male threads on both ends across the size range, the Boshart nipple drops into standard threaded assemblies as a close-coupling or spacer piece, letting installers set fitting-to-fitting distance precisely during rough-in without cutting and threading pipe on site. Keep a stock of these on the truck for repairs, retrofits, and new installs where a short threaded nipple is the fastest way to close a gap between two threaded connections.

Key Features

  • Size Range: Available in 1/2" x 2-1/2" and 1-1/2" x 2" to fit standard threaded fitting connections at multiple trade sizes.
  • Schedule 80 Construction: Heavier wall thickness than Schedule 40 nipples for a more robust threaded connection in demanding rough-in assemblies.
  • Threaded Connection: Male pipe threads on both ends allow direct connection into standard female-threaded fittings, valves, and supply stops.
  • Rough-In Ready: Sized as a short connector piece, ideal for joining fittings at a fixed, repeatable distance without field-cutting and threading pipe.
  • Versatile Use: Works as a spacer, extension, or close-coupling piece anywhere a short threaded nipple is required in a plumbing assembly.
  • Consistent Family Design: Both sizes in the NIPPL line share the same Schedule 80 wall thickness and male-threaded configuration for predictable performance across sizes.

Boshart NIPPL12X212 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Boshart NIPPL Schedule 80 pipe nipple come in?
Two sizes: 1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch (part NIPPL12X212) and 1-1/2 inch x 2 inch (part NIPPL112X2). The first number is the trade pipe size, the second is the nipple length, so the 1/2 inch version is the longer of the two while the 1-1/2 inch version is a short close-coupling piece.
2) Are both ends of this Boshart pipe nipple male threaded?
Yes, male pipe threads on both ends, on both sizes. That means it screws directly into female-threaded fittings, valves, and supply stops at each end with no adapters. If you need a female end, a nipple is the wrong part for that connection.
3) What is the difference between a Schedule 80 nipple and a Schedule 40 nipple?
Wall thickness. The Boshart NIPPL is Schedule 80, which is a heavier wall than a standard Schedule 40 nipple of the same trade size. Because the outside diameter and thread are the same for a given pipe size, a Schedule 80 nipple threads into the same female fittings as Schedule 40, but the thicker wall leaves more metal at the thread root. Choose Schedule 80 where a more robust threaded joint is called for in a supply or drain run; Schedule 40 is the usual default for ordinary residential rough-in.
4) I need to close a short gap between two threaded fittings without cutting and threading pipe. Will this work?
That is exactly what it is for. The NIPPL is a short threaded connector used as a spacer, extension, or close-coupling piece between two threaded connections, so you can set fitting-to-fitting distance without field-cutting and threading pipe. Pick the size whose length matches the gap: 2 inches on the 1-1/2 inch nipple, 2-1/2 inches on the 1/2 inch nipple.
5) Can I use this Boshart nipple to connect a supply stop or a shutoff valve?
Yes, provided the valve or stop has a female pipe thread inlet. The nipple is intended for joining supply stops, valves, and threaded fittings during rough-in, and the 1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch size is the one that matches typical 1/2 inch supply stop threads.
6) Can I use a Schedule 80 pipe nipple on a drain line as well as a supply line?
Yes. Boshart lists the NIPPL for threaded connections in both supply and drain runs, in residential and commercial rough-in, plus repair and retrofit of existing threaded pipe. The only requirement is that both mating connections are female pipe thread of the same trade size, 1/2 inch or 1-1/2 inch.
7) Is this a finish-grade nipple I can use on exposed trim work?
No. This is a trade rough-in component for pipe assembly behind the wall or under the floor, not a decorative or finish-grade part. For exposed applications where appearance matters, look for a chrome-plated or brass finish nipple instead.
