Nibco CD01900 Pvdf Socket Tee 1-1/2 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD01900 is a Schedule 80 PVDF socket tee designed for use in industrial and chemical piping systems requiring high corrosion resistance. Manufactured from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this fitting handles aggressive fluid transfer applications where standard PVC or CPVC fittings fall short. The tee features a full S x S x S (socket by socket by socket) end connection configuration in a 1-1/2 inch size. The red color coding identifies PVDF material at a glance during installation and inspection. Plumbers and pipefitters working in chemical processing, high-purity fluid handling, and industrial process lines are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This socket tee is suited for industrial process piping, chemical transfer lines, and high-purity water systems where PVDF material properties are specified. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure rating and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 fittings. The S x S x S end connections accept solvent-cemented socket joints on all three ports, making it compatible with Schedule 80 PVDF pipe and fittings used in corrosive or high-temperature fluid service. Applications span semiconductor fabrication, chemical plants, water treatment facilities, and laboratory plumbing systems.

Key Features

• PVDF material provides excellent chemical resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• S x S x S socket connections on all three ports for solvent-cemented joints
• Red color coding for quick PVDF material identification in the field
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size for standard industrial pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems using 1-1/2 inch pipe with socket-style end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use only PVDF-compatible solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 PVDF fittings and follow the cement manufacturer's cure time requirements before returning the line to service. Consult applicable plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, for support spacing and pressure testing requirements.
