Nibco CD02550 Pvdf Socket Cap 3/4 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD02550 is a 3/4-inch Schedule 80 PVDF socket cap designed to terminate open pipe ends in demanding fluid-handling systems. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) provides excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated temperatures, making this cap a reliable choice where standard PVC or CPVC fittings are not suitable. The slip socket end connection accepts a plain pipe end for solvent-welded assembly, while the SR FIPT end provides a threaded option for inline access points. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters are the primary installers for Schedule 80 plastic fittings of this type.

This cap is suited for chemical processing, ultrapure water, semiconductor fabrication, and industrial plumbing applications where high-purity and corrosion-resistant materials are required. The red color coding aids in quick visual identification of PVDF components within a system. At 3/4 inch in size and rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness, it fits standard 3/4-inch plastic pipe systems. It is sold individually and appropriate for both new installation and maintenance work on existing PVDF piping systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 fittings
• PVDF material offers superior chemical resistance and UV stability
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections provide solvent-weld and threaded assembly options
• Red color coding for easy field identification of PVDF piping components
• 3/4-inch size fits standard Schedule 80 plastic pipe systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch Schedule 80 PVDF plastic piping systems using slip socket and SR FIPT end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of Schedule 80 PVDF fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with plastic piping systems. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into or capping any pipe end. Use only PVDF-compatible solvent cement on the slip socket connection, and follow the cement manufacturer and applicable IPC guidelines for cure time before returning the system to service. Avoid over-torquing threaded FIPT connections, as over-tightening can crack plastic fittings.
