Nibco CD00950 Pvdf 45 Elbow 2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD00950 is a 2-inch PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) 45-degree elbow fitting rated for Schedule 80 service. PVDF is a high-purity, chemically resistant thermoplastic well suited for corrosive fluid handling in industrial and process piping systems. This fitting features Slip x SR FIPT end connections, allowing one socket-weld end and one standard-to-female iron pipe thread end for straightforward integration into mixed piping configurations. The red color identifies PVDF material at a glance for proper material segregation in the field. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or industrial maintenance technicians working on chemical process, ultrapure water, or specialty fluid systems.

This fitting is suited for Schedule 80 plastic piping systems handling corrosive or high-purity fluids in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The CD00950 is commonly used in chemical feed lines, laboratory plumbing, semiconductor fabrication, and water treatment systems where metal fittings are incompatible with the process media. The 45-degree angle provides a lower-resistance direction change compared to a 90-degree elbow, making it a preferred choice where flow efficiency matters in tight routing layouts.

Key Features

• PVDF construction for excellent chemical resistance and high-purity fluid compatibility
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for added pressure-bearing capability over Schedule 40
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections for versatile integration into socket-weld and threaded piping
• 45-degree geometry reduces flow turbulence compared to sharp 90-degree turns
• Red color coding enables quick material identification on the job site
• 2-inch fitting size fits standard 2-inch Schedule 80 plastic pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems with Slip x SR FIPT end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems and applicable codes such as the IPC or ASTM solvent-cement and threading standards. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing any existing fittings. The slip end requires compatible PVDF solvent cement; do not substitute PVC or CPVC cement, as cross-use compromises joint integrity. Thread the FIPT end using PTFE thread tape or a compatible thread sealant rated for the process fluid.
