Nibco CC00400 1/2 in Schedule 80 Poly Pipe Coupling Fpt

Product Description

The NIBCO CC00400 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe coupling designed to join two female-threaded pipe ends in industrial and commercial piping systems. Rated for a maximum working temperature of 180 degrees F, this black polypropylene coupling handles demanding fluid transfer applications where standard PVC or metal fittings may not be appropriate. At 0.06 pounds, it is a lightweight fitting that installs quickly without specialized tooling. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of coupling in chemical, irrigation, and process piping lines where corrosion resistance and moderate temperature tolerance are priorities.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and industrial process piping where Schedule 80 polypropylene fittings are specified. The FPT x FPT end connections accept male-threaded pipe on both sides, making it a straightforward inline joining fitting. It conforms to ASTM D4101, the standard specification for polypropylene plastic pipe fittings. Typical applications include chemical handling lines, irrigation manifolds, and systems where metal corrosion is a concern.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40 polypropylene fittings
• FPT x FPT end connections accept standard male-threaded pipe on both ends
• Polypropylene construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility
• Rated to 180 degrees F maximum working temperature
• Meets ASTM D4101 standard for polypropylene plastic pipe fittings
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy handling and inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems using FPT x FPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing any existing fittings or cutting into the pipe. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for use with polypropylene and plastic fittings before threading male pipe ends in. Hand-tighten first, then use strap wrenches rather than metal jaw tools to avoid cracking the fitting body.
