Nibco CC01050 3 in Schedule 80 Polypropylene Adapter Coupling

Product Description

The NIBCO CC01050 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe adapter coupling designed for joining threaded piping in demanding industrial and chemical service applications. At 3 inches, this black polypropylene fitting features female pipe thread connections on both ends (FPT x FPT), allowing technicians to connect threaded pipe or transition between sections within a Schedule 80 plastic piping system. It carries a maximum working temperature rating of 180 degrees F, making it suited for hot-fluid process lines where metal fittings would risk corrosion or contamination. Plumbers and pipefitters working on chemical, wastewater, or industrial process systems will find this coupling an appropriate OEM-style component. It meets ASTM D4101 standards for polypropylene plastic materials.

This coupling is intended for use in Schedule 80 thermoplastic piping systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Typical applications include chemical drainage lines, industrial process fluid handling, and corrosion-resistant water distribution where standard metal fittings are not appropriate. The FPT x FPT end configuration suits installations where both connecting pipe sections carry male threads, such as union connections or threaded valve bodies. The black polypropylene construction resists a broad range of chemicals and is a standard choice for lab waste, plating systems, and similar service environments.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 fittings
• FPT x FPT end connections accept standard male-threaded pipe on both sides
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion, chemicals, and scale buildup
• Rated to 180 degrees F maximum working temperature
• Black color coding consistent with Schedule 80 thermoplastic fitting conventions
• Meets ASTM D4101 polypropylene material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 thermoplastic piping systems using 3-inch female pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems and applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use PTFE tape or a thread sealant rated for plastic pipe threads and avoid over-tightening, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive torque. Do not use pipe wrenches with metal jaws directly on the fitting body without protective padding.
