Nibco CD03949 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80 2 in

Product Description

The NIBCO CD03949 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for use in demanding fluid handling and chemical process piping systems. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) provides excellent resistance to a broad range of aggressive chemicals, making this nipple suitable for installations where standard PVC or metal fittings would degrade. At 2 inches, it fits standard Schedule 80 threaded pipe runs and is color-coded red for quick identification in multi-line systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component as part of industrial, commercial, or high-purity process piping assemblies.

This nipple is used in chemical processing, water treatment, industrial plumbing, and laboratory piping applications where chemical resistance and pressure integrity are required. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure-bearing capacity over Schedule 40. The red color aids in system identification and line segregation in facilities where multiple fluid lines run in proximity. It is appropriate for both new installations and replacement work in existing Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems.

Key Features

• PVDF material offers high resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity versus Schedule 40
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard threaded fittings and valves
• Red color coding for easy visual identification in multi-line installations
• Lightweight construction at 0.227 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2-inch Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems in industrial and commercial fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the affected line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use PTFE thread tape or a sealant rated for PVDF and the specific fluid being conveyed. Avoid over-torquing threaded plastic fittings, as PVDF threads can crack under excessive force. Verify that the installation complies with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
