The 1-inch size suits the larger plumbing runs common to whole-house softeners, filtration tanks, and well systems, while the short 3-inch length makes it ideal for tight connections between adjacent components where a longer nipple simply will not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 (SCH80) PVC for added wall thickness and strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\" nominal diameter with a 3\" overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMale-threaded both ends for joining female-threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResists corrosion, scale, and aggressive water chemistry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to softener, RO, and well-pump plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatherweight at roughly 0.09 lbs each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchedule 80 PVC is the heavier-duty cousin of standard Schedule 40, offering greater durability for threaded joints that see repeated assembly or sustained pressure. That makes this nipple a smart pick for bypass arrangements, valve nipples, and manifold buildouts where a metal fitting might eventually corrode or seize. Unlike brass or galvanized parts, it will never contribute rust or metallic taste to the water, which is a meaningful benefit on the treated side of a filtration system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward. Wrap the male threads with PTFE tape or apply a quality thread sealant, then tighten by hand and finish with a gentle wrench turn. Avoid over-tightening, as plastic threads can split under excessive force, and back off slightly if you feel resistance building too quickly. The short close-coupled length is perfect for joining two female fittings nose to nose, a frequent need when assembling control-valve plumbing, drain connections, and tank manifolds. With its corrosion resistance, reliable sealing, and economical nature, the American Granby 1\" x 3\" SCH80 PVC nipple is a dependable fitting for new installations and repairs alike across residential and light commercial water systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStocking a small assortment of common nipple sizes keeps installations and repairs moving without a trip to the supply house, and this 1-inch close nipple is one of the most frequently reached-for lengths. Combined with matching SCH80 couplings, tees, and adapters, it helps you build clean, corrosion-free plumbing that stands up to the rigors of water-treatment service. Dependable and economical, it is the sort of everyday fitting that quietly earns its keep on installation after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Granby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668842733621,"sku":"PVCN1030","price":42.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/pvc-nipple-1x3-hires-r1200.jpg?v=1789608959"}],"url":"https:\/\/checkout.watersoftenerplus.com\/collections\/pipe-fittings-nipples-caps-and-plugs.oembed?page=2","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
