Nibco CD03760 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1/2x6 in

Product Description

The NIBCO CD03760 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for demanding fluid handling applications. Measuring 1/2 inch in pipe size and 6 inches in length, this nipple is molded from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a high-performance thermoplastic known for its resistance to corrosive chemicals, high temperatures, and UV exposure. The red color coding provides quick visual identification in multi-line piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in chemical process, industrial, and high-purity piping systems where metal pipe or standard PVC is not suitable.

This PVDF nipple is suited for use in corrosive chemical service lines, ultrapure water systems, semiconductor fabrication, and industrial process piping where resistance to aggressive media is required. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure-bearing capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service conditions. It is compatible with standard 1/2 inch PVDF or Schedule 80 plastic pipe fittings using NPT threaded connections.

Key Features

• PVDF construction resists a broad range of corrosive chemicals, solvents, and oxidizing agents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• 1/2 inch pipe size with 6 inch length for short-run connections and offsets
• Red color coding aids visual identification in multi-pipe installations
• Threaded ends provide tool-friendly installation with standard NPT-compatible fittings

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation of Schedule 80 plastic pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with plastic threaded pipe systems. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVDF is a rigid thermoplastic that can crack under excessive mechanical stress. Use PTFE tape or an appropriate thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific media being conveyed. Shut off and depressurize the system and verify it is drained before removing or installing any threaded pipe component.
