Nibco CD01200 Pvdf 45 Elbow 2 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CD01200 is a 2-inch Schedule 80 PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) 45-degree elbow designed for industrial and chemical piping systems. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends, allowing direct threaded installation into compatible piping without additional adapters. PVDF is a high-purity fluoropolymer recognized for its resistance to a broad range of aggressive chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated service temperatures. This fitting is color-coded red for easy system identification and is rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness for demanding pressure applications. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working in chemical processing, industrial fluid handling, or high-purity water systems.

This fitting is suited for use in systems conveying corrosive chemicals, acids, ultrapure water, or other aggressive media where metal or standard PVC fittings are not appropriate. The Schedule 80 rating supports higher working pressures compared to Schedule 40, making it a common choice in industrial plant piping, laboratory distribution lines, and chemical feed systems. The FIPT x FIPT connection type is compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and components.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals, UV, and heat
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports elevated working pressures
• FIPT x FIPT end connections for threaded installation on both ends
• Red color coding for quick system identification in multi-line installations
• 2-inch fitting size fits standard 2-inch threaded pipe systems

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or a compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific media being conveyed. Do not over-torque PVDF threaded fittings, as the material is susceptible to cracking under excessive mechanical stress.
