Nibco CD00150 Pvdf Socket Coupling 1-1/2 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD00150 is a Schedule 80 PVDF socket coupling designed to join 1-1/2 inch plastic piping systems in demanding industrial and chemical process applications. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) offers excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, making this coupling a reliable choice where standard PVC or CPVC fittings are not suitable. The fitting features Slip x SR FIPT end connections and is color-coded red for easy system identification. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically handle installation in commercial and industrial settings where chemical compatibility and pressure integrity are critical.

This coupling is suited for use in chemical processing, high-purity fluid handling, semiconductor manufacturing, and industrial plumbing systems that require Schedule 80-rated fittings. Its PVDF construction handles aggressive media and elevated temperatures better than standard thermoplastic fittings. The Slip x SR FIPT configuration allows connection to both plain-end pipe and threaded fittings, giving installers flexibility in mixed-connection piping runs.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides superior chemical and UV resistance compared to PVC and CPVC
• Schedule 80 pressure rating for higher-pressure system requirements
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections accommodate both plain pipe and threaded fittings
• Red color coding for quick visual identification in multi-material piping systems
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size for standard industrial pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems using 1-1/2 inch pipe with Slip and SR FIPT connection points.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing any existing fittings. PVDF socket fittings require solvent cement rated specifically for PVDF material — do not use standard PVC or CPVC cement. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing codes for pressure testing after installation.
