Nibco CD00000 Pvdf Socket Coupling 1-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD00000 is a Schedule 80 PVDF socket coupling designed for joining 1-1/2 inch pipe in demanding fluid-handling systems. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) offers superior chemical resistance compared to standard PVC or CPVC, making it a preferred material in corrosive fluid applications. The coupling features Slip x SR FIPT end connections and is color-coded red for easy identification in multi-material piping systems. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on chemical processing, industrial, or high-purity water systems where material compatibility is critical.

This coupling is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for added pressure capacity. Applications include chemical distribution lines, semiconductor fabrication water systems, and industrial process piping. The Slip x SR FIPT configuration allows connection between smooth socket pipe ends and reinforced female threaded fittings. The red color designation helps technicians quickly identify PVDF components during installation and inspection.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections for flexible joining options
• Red color-coded body for quick material identification in the field
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size fits standard IPS pipe dimensions
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit procurement for small repairs or system additions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems using 1-1/2 inch IPS pipe with Slip x SR FIPT end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with plastic pressure piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the system before beginning any fitting work. PVDF socket fittings require solvent cementing with a cement rated specifically for PVDF, as standard PVC or CPVC cements are not compatible. Follow applicable plumbing codes including IPC guidelines for plastic pressure piping when selecting this fitting for rated pressure service.
