Nibco CD01950 Pvdf Socket Tee 2 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD01950 is a 2-inch PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) socket tee fitting designed for Schedule 80 plastic piping systems. It features three socket-style end connections (S x S x S) for solvent-welded assembly. PVDF is a high-performance thermoplastic chosen for its resistance to aggressive chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated service temperatures, making this fitting well-suited for industrial fluid handling where standard PVC or CPVC falls short. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component when process piping demands both chemical compatibility and structural integrity at higher pressure ratings.

This fitting is used in industrial and commercial piping applications involving corrosive chemicals, high-purity water systems, or environments with UV exposure. Typical installations include chemical processing lines, semiconductor fabrication, laboratory distribution systems, and industrial water treatment. The red color coding aids visual identification of PVDF piping systems during installation and future maintenance. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides increased pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for demanding process conditions.

Key Features

• PVDF construction offers excellent resistance to acids, bases, solvents, and UV radiation
• Schedule 80 rated for higher operating pressures than Schedule 40 fittings
• Three socket (S x S x S) end connections allow standard solvent-weld assembly
• Red color coding provides quick visual identification of PVDF piping circuits
• 2-inch fitting size integrates directly with 2-inch Schedule 80 PVDF pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch Schedule 80 PVDF plastic piping systems using socket-style solvent-weld connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic solvent-welding procedures. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting into any existing line. Use only PVDF-compatible solvent cement and primer as specified by the pipe and cement manufacturer. Follow applicable plumbing codes, including IPC provisions for plastic piping, and allow full cure time before returning the system to service.
