Nibco CD00900 45 Degree Elbow 1-1/2 in Pvdf Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD00900 is a 45-degree elbow pipe fitting manufactured from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), a high-purity thermoplastic suited for aggressive chemical and high-purity fluid systems. Rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this fitting provides increased pressure capacity over Schedule 40. End connections are Slip x SR FIPT (slip socket on one end, female iron pipe thread on the other), allowing direct solvent-cement joining on the socket side and threaded connection on the female end. The red color identifies it as PVDF within color-coded piping systems. Weight is 0.493 pounds. Plumbers and industrial piping contractors are the primary installers.

This fitting is used in applications where chemical resistance, purity, or both are required. Typical installations include chemical processing lines, semiconductor fabrication facilities, water treatment systems, and high-purity water distribution. Schedule 80 PVDF fittings handle moderately elevated pressures and resist a broad range of corrosive media including acids, bases, and halogens. The 45-degree angle allows directional changes in tight spaces without the sharper turn of a 90-degree elbow, reducing turbulence and pressure drop in the line.

Key Features

• PVDF construction offers excellent chemical resistance and high-purity performance
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher operating pressures than Schedule 40
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections allow solvent-cement and threaded installation in one fitting
• Red color coding identifies PVDF material within multi-material piping systems
• 45-degree angle reduces turbulence compared to 90-degree elbows in directional changes

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVDF pipe and fittings in solvent-cemented and threaded thermoplastic piping systems.

Installation Notes

PVDF fittings must be joined using PVDF-compatible solvent cement on the slip socket end; standard PVC or CPVC cement is not suitable. Licensed plumbers or qualified industrial piping mechanics should perform the installation in accordance with applicable plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into an existing system. Threaded connections on the SR FIPT end should use PTFE tape or a compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF and the media being conveyed.
