Nibco CD01450 Pvdf 90 Elbow 2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD01450 is a 2-inch Schedule 80 PVDF 90-degree elbow designed for use in corrosive-fluid piping systems where chemical resistance and pressure rating matter. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) offers excellent resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, and solvents, making this fitting suitable for aggressive media handling. The slip by SR female iron pipe thread (Slip x SR FIPT) end connections allow integration with both solvent-welded PVDF pipe and threaded fittings in the same assembly. At Schedule 80 wall thickness, this elbow is rated for higher operating pressures than Schedule 40 alternatives. Plumbing and industrial piping contractors install this fitting in systems where standard PVC or CPVC would be insufficient.

This elbow is used in chemical processing, water treatment, industrial plumbing, and laboratory piping systems that handle corrosive fluids. Schedule 80 PVDF fittings are common in both commercial and light industrial installations where elevated chemical exposure or temperature demands exceed the limits of lower-cost thermoplastics. The 2-inch size suits main distribution lines and branch connections in mid-scale process piping. The red color identifies the fitting as PVDF material, which aids sorting and identification on job sites or in supply rooms where multiple thermoplastic materials are stocked.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides superior chemical resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections allow solvent-cement bonding on one end and threaded connection on the other
• Red color coding identifies PVDF material for fast on-site material verification
• 2-inch fitting size suits main lines and branches in mid-scale process or industrial piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems using 2-inch slip and female iron pipe thread connections in industrial, chemical, or water treatment applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of PVDF Schedule 80 fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified industrial piping technician. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before cutting into any existing line. Solvent cement used on the slip connection must be rated for PVDF; standard PVC or CPVC cement is not compatible. Threaded connections should be made with PTFE tape or a thread sealant approved for use with PVDF and the specific fluid being conveyed.
