Nibco CD03200 Reducer Bushing 2x1.5 in Pvdf Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CD03200 is a flush socket reducer bushing designed for plastic piping systems handling aggressive chemical or high-purity fluid applications. Manufactured from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), this Schedule 80 fitting reduces a 2-inch line down to a 1-1/2-inch line using a spigot by socket (SPIG x S) end connection configuration. PVDF offers strong resistance to a wide range of chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated temperatures, making it a preferred material in industrial, chemical processing, and laboratory piping systems. The red color allows for quick visual identification on the job. Plumbers and pipefitters working with thermoplastic systems are the primary installers.

This reducer bushing is suited for Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems where a flush-style reduction is needed between a 2-inch and 1-1/2-inch pipe segment. Typical applications include chemical transfer lines, ultrapure water systems, industrial process piping, and corrosion-resistant installations where metal fittings are not appropriate. The SPIG x S connection allows the bushing to be solvent-cemented directly into a socket fitting on one end while accepting a spigot on the other, maintaining a flush interior profile to minimize turbulence at the reduction point.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides resistance to chemicals, UV, and elevated service temperatures
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings in thermoplastic systems
• Flush socket design maintains a smooth interior transition at the reduction
• SPIG x S end connections for solvent-cement installation into standard socket fittings
• Red color coding for fast visual identification in multi-material piping systems
• Lightweight at 0.503 pounds, reducing load on support structures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF plastic piping systems with 2-inch to 1-1/2-inch reduction requirements using solvent-cement socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of PVDF Schedule 80 fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic solvent-cement procedures. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system completely before cutting into any line. Use only PVDF-rated solvent cement and primer as specified by the pipe and fitting manufacturer, and follow all applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for plastic piping. Allow full cure time before returning the system to service or applying any pressure test.
