Nibco CD02350 Pvdf Hex Plug 1 Inch Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD02350 is a Schedule 80 PVDF hex plug designed to seal threaded pipe ends in demanding industrial and chemical-handling applications. Constructed from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this fitting delivers exceptional resistance to corrosive chemicals, high temperatures, and UV exposure. The male iron pipe thread (MIPT) connection on both ends allows direct installation into female-threaded fittings or pipe outlets. At 1 inch in size and finished in red for easy identification, this plug suits systems where standard PVC or CPVC materials would degrade under aggressive media exposure. Weighing approximately 0.099 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight solution for sealing inactive branch lines or unused ports.

This hex plug is suited for chemical processing, water treatment, industrial plumbing, and laboratory piping systems where PVDF thermoplastic is specified. The Schedule 80 wall thickness rating makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40 fittings. The MIPT configuration threads directly into tees, crosses, or other female-threaded outlets to cap off unused connections without additional adapters. Plumbers and pipefitters working on corrosion-resistant piping systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides superior chemical and UV resistance compared to PVC or CPVC
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher-pressure applications
• 1 inch MIPT end connection threads into standard female NPT fittings
• Red color allows quick visual identification in multi-material piping systems
• Hex head design accepts a wrench for controlled installation torque
• Lightweight at 0.099 pounds, suitable for overhead or confined-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1 inch Schedule 80 PVDF thermoplastic piping systems with female NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded fittings. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded plugs. Use a calibrated wrench on the hex head and apply appropriate PTFE thread tape or thread sealant rated for PVDF and the media being handled. Avoid over-tightening, as excessive torque can crack PVDF threaded fittings.
