Nibco CD02500 Pvdf Socket Cap 1/2 Inch Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD02500 is a Schedule 80 PVDF socket cap fitting designed to terminate the end of a 1/2-inch pipe run with a slip socket inlet and a straight reinforced female iron pipe thread outlet. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a high-purity thermoplastic chosen for its resistance to aggressive chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated service temperatures. The red color identifies this fitting as PVDF within a multi-material piping system, reducing misidentification during installation or service. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this cap in chemical process, high-purity water, and industrial fluid-handling systems where metal fittings are not compatible with the conveyed media.

This cap is suited for residential and commercial chemical distribution lines, deionized water systems, laboratory piping, and industrial process lines where PVDF material compatibility is required. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides the pressure and structural ratings needed for demanding service conditions. The slip socket end accepts a 1/2-inch pipe for solvent-cementing, while the SR FIPT end accommodates a threaded connection where needed.

Key Features

• PVDF construction for broad chemical resistance and high-purity fluid compatibility
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure service
• Slip socket inlet for solvent-cemented pipe termination
• SR FIPT outlet for threaded connection versatility
• Red color coding for quick material identification in multi-material systems
• Lightweight at 0.065 pounds, minimizing added load on small-diameter lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems using slip socket and female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with PVDF solvent-cement procedures and threaded plastic fitting practices. Isolate and depressurize the piping system fully before making any connections or removals. Use only PVDF-compatible solvent cement on the slip socket end and do not over-torque the FIPT connection, as excessive force can crack the fitting body. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for plastic pipe joining methods.
