Nibco CC09600 Threaded Pipe Flange 1-1/2 in Polypropylene

Product Description

The NIBCO CC09600 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded pipe flange designed for 1-1/2 inch pipe with a 5 inch outer diameter. It provides a secure, leak-resistant connection point where piping meets equipment, valves, or other flanged components. The polypropylene construction makes it suitable for corrosive fluid handling, chemical processing lines, and other applications where metal flanges would degrade. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this flange as part of industrial or commercial piping assemblies. Its threaded connection simplifies installation without the need for solvent cementing or heat fusion.

This flange is appropriate for Schedule 80 plastic piping systems handling corrosive chemicals, wastewater, or industrial process fluids in commercial and industrial settings. The black polypropylene material resists a broad range of acids and bases, making it a common choice in chemical transfer and water treatment installations where metal hardware is not suitable. It connects threaded pipe runs to flanged equipment or allows for clean line breaks for maintenance access.

Key Features

• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion and chemical degradation
• Schedule 80 rated for higher pressure service compared to Schedule 40 fittings
• Threaded connection for straightforward installation on standard threaded pipe
• 5 inch outer diameter suits 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size
• Black finish — no additional coating required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flange for Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any flange. Apply appropriate thread sealant rated for polypropylene and the conveyed fluid — do not use sealants that can degrade plastic. Tighten threaded connections by hand first, then use strap wrenches rather than pipe wrenches to avoid cracking the polypropylene body. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for flanged plastic piping assemblies.
