Nibco CD02450 Pvdf Hex Plug 2 in Schedule 80 Mnpt

Product Description

The NIBCO CD02450 is a 2-inch Schedule 80 hex plug manufactured from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), a high-performance thermoplastic rated for demanding chemical and industrial piping applications. It features male NPT (MNPT) end connections on both ends and is color-coded red for quick material identification in the field. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating and mechanical durability compared to Schedule 40 fittings. This plug is designed to close off the end of a threaded pipe or fitting in systems where chemical resistance, purity, or temperature cycling are primary concerns. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This hex plug is suited for industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, ultrapure water lines, and other applications where PVDF material compatibility is required. The MNPT thread configuration allows it to thread directly into female NPT fittings, valve bodies, or pipe ends without adapters. Its Schedule 80 rating makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines where standard plastic fittings would not meet system requirements. The red color coding helps technicians quickly distinguish PVDF components from PVC, CPVC, or polypropylene fittings in multi-material installations.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent chemical resistance and suitability for ultrapure or aggressive media
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• Male NPT (MNPT) threads on both ends for direct installation into female NPT pipe or fittings
• Red color coding identifies PVDF material at a glance on multi-material systems
• Meets ASTM D3222 standard for PVDF material compliance
• 2-inch fitting size accommodates standard 2-inch threaded pipe ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using standard NPT thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters familiar with thermoplastic threaded fittings. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded plug. Use an appropriately sized hex wrench or pipe wrench on the hex body — do not over-torque, as PVDF threads can crack under excessive force. Apply PTFE tape or a compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific media being conveyed; consult the system design engineer if chemical compatibility of the sealant is uncertain.
