Nibco CC08955 Tank Adapter 1/2 Inch Schedule 80 Fpt

Product Description

The NIBCO CC08955 is a 1/2 inch Schedule 80 polypropylene tank adapter designed to create a threaded connection between a tank wall and a standard female pipe thread fitting. Molded from black polypropylene, this adapter delivers corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility suitable for a wide range of fluid handling applications. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure-handling capability over Schedule 40, making it appropriate for demanding plumbing and industrial installations. Rated to a maximum working temperature of 180 degrees F, the CC08955 meets ASTM D4101 standards for polypropylene plastic fittings. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or industrial piping technicians.

This tank adapter is used in applications where a plastic storage tank, chemical tank, or process vessel requires a secure, leak-free threaded port. The FPT x FPT end configuration allows connection on both the tank-side and the supply or discharge line side using male-threaded pipe nipples or accessories. Common install scenarios include water treatment systems, chemical storage setups, irrigation tanks, and industrial fluid containment vessels where metal fittings would be subject to corrosion or chemical degradation.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 polypropylene construction for increased wall thickness and pressure handling over Schedule 40
• FPT x FPT end connections for straightforward threaded assembly on both sides
• Maximum working temperature of 180 degrees F suits hot-water and chemical service
• Black polypropylene material resists corrosion and a broad range of chemicals
• Meets ASTM D4101 standards for polypropylene plastic piping components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems in plumbing, water treatment, and industrial fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified piping technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the tank or system before beginning work. Use PTFE thread tape or an appropriate thread sealant rated for use with polypropylene on all threaded connections. Do not overtighten threaded plastic fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
