Nibco CD01000 45 Degree Elbow 1/2 Inch Pvdf Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD01000 is a 45-degree elbow fitting manufactured from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) for Schedule 80 plastic piping systems. Rated for Schedule 80 service, it accepts female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends at the 1/2-inch size. PVDF is a high-purity thermoplastic known for strong chemical resistance, making this fitting suitable for demanding fluid-handling applications. The red color coding aids quick identification in multi-system installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a 45-degree change of direction is needed in a threaded Schedule 80 plastic line.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial piping systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Typical applications include chemical process lines, ultrapure water systems, and industrial fluid distribution where PVDF's resistance to a wide range of aggressive media is required. The FIPT x FIPT configuration allows direct thread-in installation into existing Schedule 80 female-threaded fittings or valves. The 1/2-inch size suits branch lines and secondary distribution runs in these systems.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for directional routing in tight spaces
• PVDF construction provides excellent chemical and UV resistance
• Schedule 80 pressure rating for demanding service conditions
• FIPT x FIPT end connections for threaded installation
• Red color coding for quick system identification
• 1/2-inch fitting size for standard branch and distribution lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using 1/2-inch FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems and applicable codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing any existing fittings. Use PTFE thread sealant tape rated for use with PVDF and plastic fittings — do not use pipe dope compounds that may be incompatible with PVDF. Do not overtighten threaded connections; hand-tight plus a controlled number of turns is standard practice for plastic-threaded fittings to avoid cracking.
