Nibco CD03150 Pvdf Reducer Bushing 2x1 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD03150 is a flush socket reducer bushing manufactured from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) thermoplastic, designed to reduce a 2-inch pipe connection down to a 1-inch socket fitting within a Schedule 80 piping system. Identified by its red color for easy material identification, this bushing features a spigot (SPIG) inlet and a socket (S) outlet end connection. PVDF is a high-purity, chemically resistant thermoplastic well suited for aggressive fluid handling environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in systems where Schedule 80 plastic piping is required for pressure or chemical resistance applications.

This reducer bushing is used in residential and commercial piping systems handling corrosive chemicals, high-purity water, or other fluids incompatible with metal fittings. The SPIG x S end connection style allows it to be solvent-cemented directly into standard Schedule 80 socket fittings. Common installation scenarios include chemical processing lines, semiconductor fabrication water systems, laboratory plumbing, and industrial fluid distribution where PVDF is specified for its broad chemical compatibility and moderate temperature resistance.

Key Features

• PVDF thermoplastic construction for broad chemical resistance and high-purity applications
• Schedule 80 pressure rating for compatibility with heavier-wall plastic piping systems
• Flush socket design reduces a 2-inch line to a 1-inch socket connection in a compact profile
• SPIG x S end connections for solvent-cement installation into standard Schedule 80 fittings
• Red color coding provides quick visual identification of PVDF material in the field

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF thermoplastic piping systems using 2-inch to 1-inch reducing configurations with SPIG x S end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic solvent-cement joining procedures. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use only PVDF-compatible solvent cement and primer as specified by the fitting manufacturer and per applicable plumbing code requirements. Do not apply heat to accelerate curing, as this can compromise joint integrity in PVDF assemblies.
