Frequently Asked Questions
What is a close nipple and why do I need it?
A close nipple is a short connector with threads on both ends and minimal space between them. It's used to join two fittings very close together, saving space in confined areas of your RV's plumbing system where standard nipples won't fit.
What's the difference between Schedule 80 and Schedule 40 PVC?
Schedule 80 PVC has thicker walls and higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40, making it more durable for demanding RV applications. Schedule 80 is the better choice for systems that experience pressure fluctuations or vibration during travel.
Can I use this fitting with both freshwater and wastewater lines?
Yes. This PVC close nipple is compatible with both freshwater supply lines and wastewater drain lines. It's a versatile connector for any 1/2" NPT plumbing application in your RV.
