Nibco CD02950 Pvdf Pipe End Cap 2 in Schedule 80 Fnpt

Product Description

The NIBCO CD02950 is a Schedule 80 PVDF end cap designed to terminate 2-inch female iron pipe threaded connections in demanding industrial and chemical piping systems. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a high-performance thermoplastic that resists corrosive chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated temperatures up to 280 degrees F, making it a reliable choice in applications where standard PVC or CPVC would degrade. The cap uses female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends and carries a red color for quick system identification. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. Weight is 0.475 pounds, keeping handling simple during overhead or confined-space installations.

This end cap is used in chemical processing lines, aggressive fluid handling systems, semiconductor facilities, and industrial plumbing where corrosion resistance and temperature tolerance are essential. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capability compared to Schedule 40 fittings, suiting it for systems running at elevated pressures or handling caustic media. It is appropriate for both new construction and replacement work on existing PVDF piping systems in commercial and light industrial environments.

Key Features

• PVDF construction resists a broad range of corrosive chemicals and UV radiation
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• FIPT (female iron pipe thread) connections for straightforward threaded assembly
• Maximum working temperature of 280 degrees F
• Red color coding for fast visual identification of PVDF lines
• Meets ASTM D3222 standard for PVDF materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using female iron pipe thread end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Depressurize and fully drain the line before removing any existing fitting or installing this cap. Use PTFE thread tape or a chemical-compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific media in the system. Avoid over-torquing PVDF threads, as thermoplastic fittings are more susceptible to thread damage than metal fittings.
