Nibco CD01400 Pvdf 90 Elbow 1-1/2 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD01400 is a Schedule 80 PVDF 90-degree elbow fitting designed for demanding industrial and chemical process piping systems. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) offers excellent resistance to a broad range of corrosive chemicals, UV exposure, and high-purity fluid applications. The fitting is rated Schedule 80 for use in higher-pressure systems and features a Slip x SR FIPT (Socket x Straight-Reinforced Female Iron Pipe Thread) end connection configuration. At 0.561 pounds, it is lightweight relative to metal alternatives while maintaining the structural integrity required for aggressive service environments. This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial mechanical contractors.

The CD01400 is suited for commercial and industrial piping applications where chemical resistance and purity are critical. Common installations include chemical processing lines, semiconductor fabrication facilities, water treatment systems, and laboratory plumbing where metal fittings are unsuitable due to corrosion or contamination concerns. The red color coding identifies this fitting as PVDF material within the NIBCO plastic piping lineup, aiding in system identification during installation and maintenance.

Key Features

• PVDF material provides superior chemical and UV resistance for aggressive fluid handling
• Schedule 80 pressure rating supports higher-pressure industrial piping systems
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections allow socket-weld to threaded transitions
• Red color coding for quick material identification in the field
• Lightweight at 0.561 pounds, simplifying handling in overhead or confined-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF plastic piping systems using 1-1/2-inch nominal pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes and the piping system manufacturer's solvent-cement or threading guidelines for PVDF material. Shut down and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into an existing line. Use only PVDF-compatible solvent cement on the slip socket end and ensure threads are properly sealed with a compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF on the SR FIPT end. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVDF is a thermoplastic and can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
