Nibco CC00800 1/2 Inch Poly Adapter Coupling Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CC00800 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe adapter coupling designed to connect plain-end or socket pipe to female-threaded fittings in industrial and commercial piping systems. Rated for Schedule 80 wall thickness, this adapter handles higher-pressure applications where standard Schedule 40 fittings are insufficient. The black polypropylene construction resists corrosion, many chemicals, and moisture, making it well-suited for aggressive fluid handling environments. At 0.06 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting at 1/2 inch size. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of adapter when transitioning between smooth pipe and threaded connections in thermoplastic piping runs.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, chemical distribution, irrigation, and industrial process piping where polypropylene is the specified material. The S x FPT end configuration — socket on one end and female pipe thread on the other — allows direct connection from a plain or solvent-welded pipe section into a threaded port, valve, or equipment fitting. It is appropriate for both new installations and repair work on existing Schedule 80 thermoplastic systems. The 1/2 inch size suits branch lines and instrumentation connections commonly found in light commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion, chemicals, and moisture
• S x FPT end connections transition from socket pipe to female-threaded fittings
• Black color for material identification in polypropylene piping systems
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces
• 1/2 inch size suits branch lines and instrumentation connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems using 1/2 inch socket and female NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water or fluid supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Socket-end connections require compatible polypropylene solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings — do not use PVC cement. Ensure female threads are clean and use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threaded mating piece before assembly.
