Nibco CD01700 90 Degree Elbow 2 in Pvdf Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CD01700 is a 2-inch Schedule 80 90-degree elbow fitting made from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) plastic, designed for use in industrial and chemical piping systems. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends, allowing direct threaded assembly into existing pipe runs without additional adapters. PVDF is a high-purity thermoplastic that resists a broad range of aggressive chemicals, making this fitting a practical choice where standard PVC or metal fittings are not appropriate. The red color identifies the material at a glance on the job. Weighing 0.797 pounds, it is lightweight yet durable under Schedule 80 pressure ratings.

This fitting is used in commercial and industrial piping applications involving corrosive fluids, high-purity water, or chemical process lines. Typical installation scenarios include chemical feed systems, laboratory plumbing, semiconductor fabrication support lines, and industrial process piping where chemical resistance and pressure durability are required. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this fitting in systems that demand material compatibility beyond standard thermoplastic or metal options.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher operating pressures compared to Schedule 40 fittings
• FIPT x FIPT end connections allow straightforward threaded installation into standard pipe runs
• Red color coding provides quick visual identification of PVDF material in multi-material piping systems
• 2-inch fitting size suits main distribution lines and large branch connections in process piping

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified industrial pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Shut off the system and relieve all pressure before disassembling or connecting any fittings. Use PTFE thread tape rated for PVDF and chemical service when making threaded connections. Do not use pipe dope or thread sealants that are incompatible with PVDF, as chemical attack can compromise the fitting integrity over time.
