Nibco CD00850 Pvdf 45 Elbow 1 Inch Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD00850 is a 1-inch PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) 45-degree elbow fitting rated for Schedule 80 service. It features slip by SR FIPT (slip x female iron pipe thread) end connections and is color-coded red for easy identification in chemical handling systems. PVDF is a high-purity thermoplastic that resists a broad range of aggressive chemicals, making this elbow a common choice in industrial, laboratory, and commercial piping systems where corrosion resistance and material purity are critical. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this fitting as part of high-purity or chemical-service piping assemblies.

This elbow is intended for use in Schedule 80 thermoplastic piping systems handling corrosive fluids, ultrapure water, or chemical process media. The 45-degree angle allows directional changes in tight runs where a standard 90-degree elbow would create excessive pressure drop or clearance issues. Typical installations include chemical processing lines, semiconductor fabrication, water treatment, and laboratory distribution systems. The PVDF material makes this fitting suitable for both hot and cold fluid service where PVC or CPVC would be inadequate due to chemical incompatibility.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals and high-purity fluid compatibility
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure-bearing capacity compared to Schedule 40
• 45-degree geometry for gradual directional changes with lower pressure drop than 90-degree elbows
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections allow solvent-cement socket joining on one end and female threaded connection on the other
• Red color coding aids system identification in multi-material or multi-service piping layouts
• 1-inch fitting size suits common branch and main line configurations in light industrial and laboratory systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 1-inch Schedule 80 PVDF thermoplastic piping systems using slip and female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified industrial pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic solvent-cementing procedures. Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing piping. Use only PVDF-compatible solvent cement and primer on the slip connection; do not substitute PVC or CPVC cement, as incompatible solvents will compromise joint integrity. Follow all applicable plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, for thermoplastic piping in chemical or high-purity service.
