Boshart NIPPL Schedule 80 Pipe Nipple

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.
