Nibco CD02900 Pvdf Pipe End Cap 1-1/2 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD02900 is a Schedule 80 PVDF pipe end cap designed to terminate 1-1/2 inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections in industrial and chemical process piping systems. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) offers strong resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, UV exposure, and high-purity fluid handling environments, making this cap a reliable choice where standard PVC or CPVC fittings are not rated for the application. The red color coding identifies the fitting as Schedule 80 rated. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters typically install this type of fitting in systems handling aggressive media where plastic pipe is specified.

This end cap is suited for use in chemical processing, semiconductor fabrication, water treatment, and other industrial piping applications where corrosion resistance and material purity are critical. The FIPT thread connection allows it to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe or fittings in Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems. It is commonly installed when capping off an unused branch, temporarily or permanently closing a line, or protecting an open pipe end during system construction or maintenance.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals, UV, and high-purity media
• Schedule 80 pressure rating for heavier-duty industrial piping applications
• FIPT x FIPT end connections thread directly onto male-threaded pipe or fittings
• Red color coding identifies Schedule 80 schedule rating at a glance
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size suits common industrial branch and main line sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or capping any fitting. Use PTFE thread sealant tape rated for PVDF and the media being handled — do not use paste-type sealants unless confirmed compatible with PVDF. Consult applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for approved materials and pressure ratings in the specific service environment.
