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. Specifications Part number: PV215040 (also listed as 215-040).
