Nibco CC08960 Tank Adapter 3/4 in Polypropylene Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CC08960 is a 3/4-inch polypropylene tank adapter designed to connect a storage tank port to a female pipe thread fitting in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. Molded from Schedule 80 polypropylene, this black fitting delivers the wall thickness and chemical resistance required for industrial, commercial, and water treatment applications. The FPT x FPT end configuration allows threaded connections on both sides, simplifying installation in tight spaces or inline configurations. Plumbers and pipe fitters choose this adapter when a reliable, corrosion-resistant transition between a tank and a threaded line is needed.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial water storage systems, chemical tanks, and process piping where polypropylene is specified for its resistance to acids, bases, and common chemicals. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service lines. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters during tank assembly, water treatment setups, or chemical dispensing system builds where a threaded tank-to-line connection is required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 polypropylene construction provides increased wall thickness for pressure-rated service
• FPT x FPT end connections accept standard female pipe thread fittings on both ends
• Black polypropylene material resists corrosion, many acids, and common chemicals
• 3/4-inch fitting size suits a wide range of standard residential and commercial tank ports
• Lightweight design at 0.19 pounds reduces load on tank connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems requiring a 3/4-inch threaded tank adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the tank or system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use thread sealant tape or compound rated for use with polypropylene and the conveyed fluid. Avoid overtightening threaded connections, as polypropylene fittings can crack under excessive torque.
