Nibco CD03050 Pvdf Reducer Bushing 1x3/4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD03050 is a PVDF plastic flush socket reducer bushing designed for Schedule 80 piping systems. It transitions a 1-inch pipe down to a 3/4-inch socket connection using a spigot-by-socket (SPIG x S) end configuration. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a high-purity, chemically resistant thermoplastic that holds up in demanding applications involving corrosive fluids, high-purity water systems, and aggressive industrial process lines. The red color coding identifies this as a Schedule 80 rated fitting. This bushing is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians working on plastic piping systems where a reduction in line size is required within the same socket-style fitting system.

This fitting is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial piping installations where Schedule 80 PVDF pipe and fittings are specified. Typical applications include chemical processing lines, ultrapure water distribution, laboratory plumbing, and industrial fluid handling systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. The flush socket design allows the bushing to seat within the pipe end without protruding, keeping the fitting profile compact within tight assemblies. Solvent cement is the standard joining method for socket-end PVDF fittings of this type.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals and high-purity fluid applications
• Schedule 80 pressure rating for use in demanding industrial and commercial piping systems
• Flush socket reducer design enables compact in-line size transitions without protruding ends
• SPIG x Socket end connections for solvent-cement joining into standard Schedule 80 socket fittings
• Red color coding identifies Schedule 80 rating for quick visual confirmation during installation
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds, reducing load on overhead or suspended piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Schedule 80 PVDF plastic piping systems using 1-inch to 3/4-inch socket-style fittings with solvent cement joining.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working with Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems. De-pressurize and drain the line completely before cutting or disassembling any section of pipe. Use only PVDF-compatible solvent cement and primer as specified by the fitting manufacturer and applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Do not over-apply solvent cement, and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system.
