Nibco CD03910 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1-1/2x6 in

Product Description

The NIBCO CD03910 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for use in industrial and commercial piping systems where chemical resistance and pressure performance are required. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in pipe size and 6 inches in length, this nipple is molded from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a high-performance thermoplastic that withstands a broad range of aggressive chemicals, high-purity fluids, and elevated temperatures. The red color provides quick visual identification on the job. Threaded ends conform to standard NPT specifications, allowing direct connection to compatible threaded fittings and valves without additional adapters.

This nipple is suited for chemical processing lines, water treatment systems, semiconductor manufacturing, and other applications where metal corrosion is a concern or chemical purity must be maintained. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-demand service conditions in both above-ground and in-line installations. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters are the primary installers in commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• PVDF material offers excellent resistance to acids, bases, halogens, and oxidizing agents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher pressure ratings than standard Schedule 40
• Threaded ends for fast, tool-accessible NPT connections
• Red color coding enables quick identification in multi-line systems
• 1-1/2 inches pipe size x 6 inches length for standard nipple applications

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified industrial pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing nipple or fitting. Use PTFE thread tape or a chemical-compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF applications when making threaded connections. Avoid over-tightening threaded plastic fittings, as excessive torque can crack the material.
