Nibco CD03800 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80 3/4 in

Product Description

The NIBCO CD03800 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for demanding fluid-handling applications where chemical resistance and pressure integrity are required. Constructed from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this nipple resists a wide range of aggressive chemicals, making it a reliable choice for industrial piping systems, chemical processing lines, and corrosive-fluid transfer. The red color coding aids in quick visual identification during installation and inspection. At 0.04 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for integration into tight or weight-sensitive assemblies. Licensed plumbers and industrial piping contractors are the primary installers of Schedule 80 plastic nipples in these service environments.

This nipple is intended for use in systems handling corrosive chemicals, ultrapure water, or other fluids that would degrade standard thermoplastic or metal fittings. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines. It is commonly installed in chemical feed systems, water treatment facilities, laboratory plumbing, and industrial process piping where PVDF's broad chemical compatibility and temperature resistance are needed.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides exceptional resistance to acids, bases, solvents, and halogens
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher operating pressures than Schedule 40
• Threaded ends allow direct connection to standard threaded fittings and valves
• Red color coding enables quick visual identification in multi-pipe systems
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds, minimizing load on connected components
• 3/4 inch pipe size fits standard 3/4 inch threaded system components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/4 inch Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using standard NPT-compatible fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation of PVDF threaded nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with plastic piping systems and applicable codes such as the IPC. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this nipple. Use PTFE thread sealant tape rated for use with PVDF and fluoropolymer components. Do not use pipe wrenches with excessive force, as overtightening threaded plastic fittings can cause cracking or thread damage.
